We make the ansatz $\va{v} = v(r, t) \vu{e}_r$,
where $\vu{e}_r$ is the basis vector;
in other words, we demand that the only spatial variation of the flow is in $r$.

+From the definition of [viscosity](/know/concept/viscosity/),

+
+We now consider a spherical bubble
+with radius $R(t)$ and interior pressure $P(t)$ along its surface.
+Since we know the liquid pressure $p(r)$,
+we can find $P$ from $\sigma_{rr}(r)$.
+Furthermore, to include the effects of surface tension, we simply add
+the [Young-Laplace law](/know/concept/young-laplace-law/) to $P$:
+
+$$\begin{aligned}
+ P

+ = p(R) - 2 \rho \nu \Big( \frac{-2}{R^3} C \Big) + \alpha \frac{2}{R}
+\end{aligned}$$
+
+We isolate this for $p(R)$, and equate it to
+our expression for $p(r)$
+at the surface $r\!=\!R$:
$$\begin{aligned}
- p(r, t)
- = p_\infty(t) + \rho \bigg( \frac{1}{r} C'(t) - \frac{1}{2 r^4} C^2(t) \bigg)

+ = p_\infty + \rho \bigg( \frac{1}{R} C' - \frac{1}{2 R^4} C^2 \bigg)
\end{aligned}$$
-We now consider a spherical bubble with radius $R(t)$ and pressure $P(t)$ along the liquid surface.
-To study the liquid boundary's movement, we set $r = R$ and $p = P$,
-and see that $R'(t) = v(t)$, such that $C = r^2 V = R^2 R'$.
-We thus arrive at:
+Isolating for $P$,
+and inserting the fact that $R'(t) = v(t)$,
+such that $C = r^2 v = R^2 R'$,
+yields:
$$\begin{aligned}
