ABSTRACT	We investigate the interaction of shock waves in a heavy gas with embedded light gas bubbles next to a rigid wall. This may give insight regarding cavitation processes in water. Due to the highly dynamical, unsteady processes under consideration we use an adaptive FV scheme for the computations to resolve accurately all physically relevant effects. The results are validated by comparison with tube experiments.
