Abstract

Aims.Over the past several years, numerous examples of X-ray cavities coincident with radio sources have been observed in so-called “cool core” clusters of galaxies. Motivated by these observations, we explore the evolution and the effect of cavities on a cooling intracluster medium (ICM) numerically, adding relevant physics step by step.
