The present work is devoted to a model of bubble collapse in a Newtonian
viscous liquid caused by an initial bubble wall motion. The obtained bubble
dynamics described by an analytic solution significantly depends on the liquid
and bubble parameters. The theory gives two types of bubble behavior: collapse
and viscous damping. This results in a general collapse condition proposed as
the sufficient differential criterion. The suggested criterion is discussed and
successfully applied to the analysis of the void and gas bubble collapses.Comment: 5 pages, 3 figure
