Abstract:

The investigation is aimed at extending the theoretical considerations of the asymmetric collapse phenomena to much later stages of collapse than is possible with perturbation techniques. The long term objective is the consideration of the effect of such factors as bubble gas content, fluid viscosity, arbitrary pressure gradients, and the presence of a wall for the short term, the goal is merely to study the asymmetric collapse of an initially perturbed vapor bubble in an infinite volume of perfect fluid, subject to a step change in fluid pressure.
