✦ Synopsis

The problem of an isolated, stationary, two-component gas bubble in a fluid is analysed. The appropriate governing equations, and an approximate version of these equations, for this model system are reviewed. The qualitative differences in bubble dissolution behaviour between single-and two-component gas bubbles are elucidated. In particular, it is demonstrated that in the latter case the gas bubble radius may exhibit extrema as a function of time for certain values of the controlling parameters. The conditions under which these extrema may occur, and the maximum number of extrema which are permitted are elucidated.
