Abstract
This note points out that, as a consequence of the distinction in solids between surface tension γ and surface energy [sgrave], a strain field generally exists around gas bubbles even in thermodynamic equilibrium. The existence of this strain field leads to a small attraction between bubbles but in typical practical situations this is only significant for bubble migration when they are close together compared to their radii.Keywords
