THE SHOCK WAVE PRODUCED BY COLLAPSE OF A SPHERICAL CAVITY

Abstract

The results of the computations for a single case of spherical cavity collapse in water are presented, including the post-collapse shock wave and accompanying velocity and pressure fields. For the model studied it appears that at a finite time after collapse negative pressures occur, indicating that the cavity reopens.
