Introduction
The collapse of cavitation bubbles near walls is one of the major reasons for failure of technical devices involving the processing of liquids at large pressure differences. High-speed photography gives a first insight into the bubble dynamics during the collapse [4],[5] and shows two fundamental phenomena during the non-spherical cavitation bubble collapse process: first the development of high-speed jets and second the release of shock-waves upon final bubble collapse. Both, the impact of shock waves and of high-speed jets on a surface can lead to material erosion. A more detailed experimental investigation including a precise determination of peak pressures at the wall and its association with the initial bubble configuration and evolution is beyond current experimental capabilities.
