ABSTRACT
The stability of a gas cylinder in a compressible liquid endowed with surface tension has been
studied. The dispersion relation is derived and discussed for all axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric
perturbations.
The capillary force is destabilizing only in small domain of axisymmetric mode. While it is
capillary stabilizing in the rest domains. The compressibility has a strong destabilizing tendency and
causes collapsing the model.
1. INTRODUCTION
The stability criterion of a gas jet pervaded into an incompressible liquid endowed with surface
tension for axisymmetric perturbation is indicated for first time by Chandrasekhar (1981). See also
Drazin and Reid (1980) (p.16) where the inertia force of the liquid is paramount over that of the gas.
Cheng (1985) studied the instability of a streaming gas jet in an incompressible liquid for all
axisymmetric and non-axisymmetric modes of perturbation. However, we have to mention here that
the results given by Cheng (1985), in Eqs.(4) and (5) are incorrect in the third term. In fact the quantity
(1-m2
-k2
R2
0) must be in the numerator as it is clear from Eq. (3) there. See also equation (30) in the
present work and Drazin’s result (1980) p.16 and also Chandrasekhar’s dispersion relation P.538 and
P.540 [Eqs. (147) and (155) there]. Radwan and Elazab (1987) examined the viscosity effect on the
capillary instability of this model for axisymmetric perturbation. In (1989) Radwan identified the
stabilizing effect of the magnetic field on the stability of this model, for other topics see Radwan
(2005). The stability of different cylindrical models under the action of self gravitating force in
addition to other forces has been elaborated by Radwan and Hasan (2008) and (2009). They (2008)
studied the gravitational stability of a fluid cylinder under transverse time-dependent electric field for
axisymmetric perturbations. Hasan (2011) has discussed the stability of oscillating streaming fluid
cylinder subject to combined effect of the capillary, self gravitating and electrodynamic forces for all

axisymmetric and non axisymmetric perturbation modes. Hasan (2011) studied the instability of a full
fluid cylinder surrounded by self-gravitating tenuous medium pervaded by transverse varying electric
field under the combined effect of the capillary, self-gravitating and electric forces for all modes of
perturbations. He (2012) discussed the instability of a full fluid cylinder surrounded by selfgravitating
tenuous medium pervaded by transverse varying electric field under the combined effect of the
capillary, self-gravitating and electric forces for all modes of perturbations. He (2012) studied the
magnetodynamic stability of a fluid jet pervaded by transverse varying magnetic field while its
surrounding tenuous medium is penetrated by uniform magnetic field.
In all foregoing works it is assumed that the fluid moves such that the divergence of the flow
fluid vanishes. Here we, will not consider this behavior i.e. the velocity of the liquid is not solenoid
anymore, investigate the capillary instability of a gas cylinder embedded into (real) compressible
liquid. This phenomenon may occur in the geological drillings as a gas escapes from below oil layers
in the crust. For astrophysical applications, we may refer to the experimental work of Kendall (1986).

pointed as r does where (r, ϕ, z) are the cylindrical coordinates with the z-axis coinciding with the
axis of the gas-liquid model. r1 and r2 are the principle radii of curvature of the gas-liquid interface.
3. PERTURBATION ANALYSIS
For small departures from the initial state, every perturbed quantity χ(r,ϕ, z, t) may be
expressed as
χ(r,ϕ, z, t) = χ0 + ε(t) χ1 (r, ϕ, z) + … (11)
Here χ(r, ϕ, z, t) stands for u, ρ, P, N and the radial distance of the gas cylinder. ε(t) is the
amplitude of the perturbation
ε(t) = ε0eσt
(12)
where ε0 (=ε at t=0) is the initial amplitude and σ is the growth rate. Based on the perturbation
technique
Q1 (r, ϕ, z) = Q1 (r) exp [i(kz + mϕ)] (13)
where k is the longitudinal wavenumber and m the azimuthal wavenumber. The radial distance of the
gas cylinder due to the perturbation is given by:
R = R0 + ε0R1 (14)
with
R1 ≈ exp (i(kz + mϕ) + σt) (15)
where ε0R1 is the elevation of the surface wave measured from the unperturbed position. By inserting
the expansion (11) into the basic equations (1) – (10) we get two systems of partial differential
equations, the unperturbed system and the perturbed one.
By solving the unperturbed system of equations with [u0 = (0, 0, 0)], we obtain

4. DISCUSSIONS
Equation (30) is the required dispersion relation of a gas cylinder embedded into a
compressible liquid endowed with surface tension. It relates the growth rate σ with the longitudinal
dimensionless wavenumbers x and y, the azimuthal wavenumber m, the modified Bessel function
Km(y) of second kind of order m and its derivative and with other parameters S, ρ0 and R0 of the
problem.

This means that the gas-liquid model as the liquid is incompressible is capillary unstable only
for m = 0 as 0 < x < 1 while it is stable for (m = 0 as 1 < x < ∞) and (m≠0, ∀ x ≠0). These results are
confirmed numerically (cf. Chandrasekhar (1981) for m=0 and Radwan (1989) and (2005) for m ≥ 0).

Here the effect of the capillary instability on the present model could be identified via
discussing equation (30) numerically in its general form. However, we see as above that the most
dangerous mode of instability is m=0.
In the present study since the argument of ι
mK and K`m in equation (30) (is being y(=ζR0), the
longitudinal wavenumber of the compressible liquid with ( )2
0

Raxy σ+= ) includes σ2
(see
equation (25)), it is cumbersome to identify the stability conditions and states using the well-known
standard approaches. So, we have used the numerical iterative technique as m=0 for different values of
a(= 0/ Ra )=1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 5.0 and 10.0. Due to the discussing results we may see (fig.1) that the unstable
domains are decreasing vertically with increasing a-values while they are the same 0< x <1
horizontally. Keep in mind that the parameter "a" in the denominator of equation (25), we conclude
that the compressibility has strong destabilizing tendency on the present model and causes collapsing
it.
It is worthwhile to mention here that through the numerical calculations, we may have
