Abstract
In this study, we propose a mesh-free (particle-based) Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics model for simulating a Rayleigh collapse. Both empty and gas cavities are investigates and the role of heat diffusion is also accounted for. The system behaves very differently according to the ratio between the characteristic time of collapse and the characteristic time of thermal diffusion. This study identifies five different possible behaviours that range from isothermal to adiabatic.
