| Abstract: | The nonlinear oscillation of a spherical gas bubble in polymer solutions was theoretically analyzed. Using the rheological equation of Bueche model fluid, the equation of motion and the pressure equation for a bubble are derived. According to the numerical calculations, the effects of rheological properties and initial radius of the bubble on the bubble radius-time history, pressure at the bubble wall, critical and equilibrium radii of the bubble, as well as pressure distribution in liquid are discussed. |
