A. Piacentini, BOUNDARY INTEGRAL FORMULATION FOR THE COLLAPSE OF AN INITIALLY SPHERICAL VAPOR CAVITY UNDER THE EFFECT OF THE CURVATURE, Mathematical models and methods in applied sciences, 5(7), 1995, pp. 923-933
The effect of the curvature is usually neglected in the mathematical m
odels of bubble collapse. For bubbles of sufficiently small radius suc
h effect becomes of relevant interest. A linear boundary element metho
d (B.E.M.) with a cubic spline approximation of the domain that takes
the surface tension into account is presented.
