bore flaring: why?

...a wire-wound, carbon-cored, water-filled music string serves as the axle for a spoked rotor... the assembled mechanism is immersed in boiling water; upon cooling, condensing water vapour draws liquid water into the capillaries between the carbon fibres... mutual antipathy of carbon and water causes 'water-strings' to spontaneously form... it is within these 'water-strings' that the sonoluminescence action takes place.
