Abstract
A general equation for the energy balance in a liquid containing a cluster of cavities is used to derive the collapse equations for specific cluster configurations. These equations contain as parameters the volume fraction of cavities β and a coefficient γ for the energy transfer into the cluster due to collapse of the individual cavities. The influence of γ and β and of the spatial distribution of β is calculated. Experimental studies of the plane, one-dimensional collapse of a cavity layer are compared with the theoretical results. In this connection the influence of temperature on the cavity cluster formation and collapse is considered.
