Laplace pressure
text:
The Laplace pressure is the pressure difference between the inside and the outside of a curved surface that forms the boundary between two fluid regions. The pressure difference is caused by the surface tension of the interface between liquid and gas, or between two immiscible liquids. The Laplace pressure is determined from the Young–Laplace equation given as where R 1 and R 2 are the principal radii of curvature and γ is the surface tension. Although signs for these values vary, sign conventio
