The growth of a spherical bubble in a viscous, incompressible fluid due to a transient tension is analyzed. The maximum attainable radius of the bubble is derived. The problem is closely related to the experimental study of cavitation inception by the stress wave technique. The analysis reveals clearly the role played by the viscosity and shows that for liquids of high viscosity the stress wave technique can be employed advantageously to determine the average sizes of the nuclei of cavitation.

Slow flow of a viscous incompressible fluid past a slender body of circular crosssection is treated by the method of matched asymptotic expansions. The main result is an integral equation for the force per unit length exerted on the body by the fluid. The novelty is that the body is permitted to twist and dilate in addition to undergoing the translating, bending and stretching, which have been considered by others. The method of derivation is relatively simple, and the resulting integral equation does not involve the limiting processes which occur in the previous work.

In the present investigation, problem of heat transfer has been studied during peristaltic motion of a viscous incompressible fluid for two-dimensional nonuniform channel with permeable walls under long wavelength and low Reynolds number approximation. Expressions for pressure, friction force, and temperature are obtained. The effects of different parameters on pressure, friction force, and temperature have been discussed through graphs.
