The theory of the growth of vapor bubbles in a metastable liquid

The growth of a single bubble and a system of vapor bubbles in the initial state in thermal and mechanical equilibrium with a liquid has been considered. Linear and nonlinear solutions have been derived, and the effects of the radial inertia, viscosity of the liquid, interphase heat and mass exchange, and the conditions of the tightness of bubbles on the development of the process have been studied on their basis.
