DESCRIPTION:Shock-induced cavity collapse has been identified as an import
 ant ignition mechanism in condensed phase explosives. To this end\, we per
 form numerical simulations of resolved cavity collapse in reacting liquid 
 nitromethane. It is observed that the collapse generates peaks of temperat
 ure in front and behind the point of collapse as well as in regions where 
 strong shock waves overlap. The temperature field is analysed and conclusi
 ons on the mechanisms of hot spot generation are drawn.
