Abstract
This paper is concerned with the spherically symmetric collapse of an empty cavity in water. The effects of viscosity and surface tension are neglected, but the compressibility of the water is allowed for and a suitable equation of state for the water assumed. The object of this is to clarify the effect of compressibility on the flow by considering it in isolation and thus to describe the formation of a pressure pulse by the collapse and its subsequent propagation.Keywords
