Abstract

By use of a virial equation introduced in a recent paper (Benjamin 1987), the main results of a second-order perturbation theory developed by Longuet-Higgins (1989a) are recovered in comparatively simple fashion. Asymmetric capillary vibrations of a gas bubble in an infinite incompressible liquid are confirmed to generate an increase in the volume of the bubble, a lowering of the mean pressure of the gas and a monopole component in the motion of the liquid. It is shown that the second effect remains when the bubble is incompressible.
