On reflection of shock waves and shock-wave configurations
Technical Physics Letters, 2008A new approach to the problem of unsteady reflection of shock waves is proposed. It is shown that the type and parameters of the shock wave reflection configuration depend on the type of an object (single shock versus shock-wave configuration) incident on the reflecting surface.

The structure of a shock wave in a rarefied polyatomic gas is studied on the basis of the theory of extended thermodynamics. Three types of the shock wave structure observed in experiments, that is, the nearly symmetric shock wave structure (type A ...

An understanding of interstellar shock waves is crucial in determining the structure of the interstellar medium. By causing the gas to radiate, interstellar shocks provide astronomers with valuable diagnostics on both the physical conditions in the interstellar medium and the energy source that produced the shock.

On the Measurement of Shock Waves
IEEE Transactions on Ultrasonics, Ferroelectrics and Frequency Control, 1987The classic theoretical formulations of finite-amplitude distortion invariably depict continuous sinusoidal waves which develop into sawtooth or N-shaped waves. In practice, where ultrasonic wave- forms at high intensities are measured by a PVDF hydrophone con- nected to an oscilloscope, waveforms are observed with gross asym- metries between positive ...

We discuss the physics of shock waves with special emphasis on the phenomena related to the field of nonlinear fiber optics. We first introduce the general mechanism commonly known as gradient catastrophe and the related concept of classical shock waves.

Shock-wave formation is a generic scenario of wave dynamics known in nonlinear acoustics, fluid dynamics, astrophysics, seismology, and detonation physics. Here, we show that, in nonlinear optics, remarkably short, attosecond shock transients can be generated through a strongly coupled spatial and temporal dynamics of ultrashort light pulses ...

Effect of the dynamic pressure on the shock wave structure in a rarefied polyatomic gas
, 2014We study the shock wave structure in a rarefied polyatomic gas based on a simplified model of extended thermodynamics in which the dissipation is due only to the dynamic pressure.

Shock wave generated by high-energy electric spark discharge
, 2014Shock wave generated by electric spark discharge was studied experimentally and the shock wave energy was evaluated in this paper. A pressure measurement system was established to study the pressure field of the electric spark discharge process. A series

A shock wave source of the type suitable for treating calculi in the body of a patient has a shock wave tube filled with a shock wave-conducting medium which is closed at one end by a flexible cover adapted to be pressed against the patient, and closed at an opposite end by a membrane.

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses effect of propagation of disturbances in a moving gas. When the velocity of a fluid in motion becomes comparable with or exceeds that of sound, effects resulting from the compressibility of the fluid become of prime importance. The dynamics of high-speed flow is usually called gas dynamics. The flow of a gas is
