Abstract
The results of a numerical study of the implosion of a spherical gas cavity in a cylindrical tank filled with liquid are presented. Under the influence of a pressure drop, the fluid starts to move, and the gas cavity begins to collapse. Mathematical modeling of the nonstationary, nonisothermal, turbulent motion of a compressible fluid is based on the fluid volume method. The focus is on the generation of pressure waves in a fluid during an implosion process. The study involved changes in the initial pressure in the gas cavity. It is shown how the initial pressure in the gas cavity affects the peak pressure recorded at the control point and the time it takes to reach it. An approximation formula is obtained for calculation of the peak pressure of a spherical compression wave.
