The dynamics of the cavitation bubble collapse is a fundamental issue for the bubble collapse application and prevention. In present work, the modified forcing scheme for the pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model developed by Li Q. et al. is adopted to develop a cavitation bubble collapse model. In the respects of coexistence curves and Laplace law verification, the improved pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model is investigated. The independence between the kinematic viscosity and the thermodynamic consistency, surface tension is founded. By homogeneous and heterogeneous cavitation simulation, the capability of the present model to describe the cavitation bubble development as well as the cavitation inception is verified. The bubble collapse between two parallel walls is simulated. The dynamic process of collapsing bubble is consistent with the results from experiments and simulations by other numerical method. It is demonstrated that the present pseudopotential multi-relaxation-time lattice Boltzmann model is available and efficient, and the lattice Boltzmann method is an alternative tool for collapsing bubble modeling.
