Hydrostatics and Aerostatics 
it can be inferred that a large part 
of 
the bubble forms 
at 
an 
almost constant 
vertex radius 
and 
it 
is 
an 
important property for larger nozzle radii. 
For 
smaller nozzle radii, stronger/larger changes 
of 
the vertex raoius are 
to 
be 
expected during the formation 
of 
the gas bubbles. 
The pressure difference 
MD 
as a function 
of 
the vertex radius 
Ro 
is 
represented for different nozzle radii 
rD 
From 
this representation it can 
be gathered 
that 
for the static bubble formation 
on 
nozzles initially a 
continuous pressure increase 
at 
the nozzle mouth 
is 
necessary. After having 
reached a maximum distinct for all nozzles radii the pressure decreases 
again. This continuously increasing and then decreasing pressure change, 
which 
is 
required for the static bubble formation, makes it difficult to 
investigate experimentally the static formation 
of 
gas bubbles 
on 
nozzles 
in fluids.  The change 
of 
the vertex distance from the nozzle during the 
bubble formation for different nozzle radii. The vertex radius was chosen 
for designating the respective stage 
of 
bubble formation.

of 
the bubble 
volume for different nozzle radiuses 
rj; . The [mal points 
of 
the different curves 
are given by the existence 
of 
a maximum bubble volume. The bubble 
of 
maximum volume formation above a nozzle 
is 
not identical with the one having 
minimum pressure. Reference 
is 
made to the fact, however, 
that 
the latter 
is 
excluded from the possible bubble forms owing to the definition 
of 
the 
static bubble formation, 
as it could only be verified by the gas reflux to
