Abstract

Two integral theorems are proved which are applicable to the motion of an incompressible fluid in three dimensions. From either of these theorems one can derive the monopole component of the pressure fluctuation at infinity when a bubble undergoes non-spherical oscillations. The results confirm and generalize some recent calculations of this effect (Longuet-Higgins 1989a). They also provide a basis for a physical discussion of the origin of the monopole terms.
