  4. Abstract:
  5. In this paper, implosion of a micron-sized air bubble was studied numerically using OpenFoam software package. Then a parametric investigation on the flow physics of the problem was performed. The results show that as the initial pressure of the liquid increases, the pressure and the temperature inside the bubble increases such that in some cases, the temperature is as high as the one required for luminescence. Also, increasing the density and the temperature of the liquid solely, decreases the intensity of the collapse. © 2018
