Abstract The motion of bubbles in liquids has been studied in many earlier papers [1–8]. In this paper methods of the projection type are applied to the problem of a cavity in an ideal, incompressible liquid in the absence of vortices. The collapse of a bubble having a finite initial velocity in a boundless liquid is considered; also considered is the collapse of a stationary bubble close to a solid wall. Using the small-parameter method the generation of a jet is examined analytically. A numerical computing method not involving small parameters is developed; it is based on calculating the projection by numerical computation of the corresponding integrals. The method combines economy and simplicity of application with a high accuracy in the region in which the representation of the velocity potential by a series of spherical functions remains effective.
