The variations of density and sonic velocity with gas content have been calculated for a liquid containing gas bubbles. Taking liquid compressibility and surface tension into account, the effects of pressure and bubble size have been assessed. Particular attention has been focused on air-water mixtures, and very good agreement has been obtained with the limited amount of experimental data available.
