    Bubble of water in zero gravity

    What if you were in a spaceship in outer space and had a sphere filled with water and some fish in it and then carefully removed the shell, leaving behind only a bubble of water. Would the water hold together and could the fish would swim outside the bubble and suffocate?

    Bubble dynamics over a liquid surface

    Hey all, Interestingly enough, I was actually recently feeding some ducks at a nearby pond when I noticed a cool phenomenon that I couldn't explain myself, so I was hoping you guys could assist in that. When you have two air bubbles over a liquid surface, like water, they seem to accelerate...

    I Bubble cavitation - what does a dash mean?

    For a bubble in water in equilibrium the supporting forces due to pressure of the gas Pg and vapour Pv in the bubble must equal the crushing forces i.e. the hydrostatic forces Ph and those due to surface tension 2sigma/R0. So we have ##P_{v}+P_{g}=P_{h}+ \frac{2\sigma }{R_{0}}## Now we apply...
