Abstract
Employing Rayleigh's method, the collapse of a vaporous bubble in an incompressible liquid with surface tension is analysed. The expressions of time versus radius, bubble-wall velocity and pressure developed at collapse are thus introduced.
Finally, the numerical solution of velocity and pressure field in the liquid surrounding the cavity is also given.
