Shock Waves and Blast Waves

2018
This chapter will provide you with a brief introduction to the mathematical description of shock and blast waves and the most common experimental techniques to study shock wave focusing phenomena. In order to fully understand shock wave focusing, it is necessary to first have a good understanding how a shock wave reacts when it encounters another shock

On the evolution of spherical gas interfaces accelerated by a planar shock wave

, 2011
The interaction of a planar shock wave with a spherical gas interface (SF6 or helium) surrounded by air is studied experimentally and numerically. By means of the high-speed schlieren photography with high time resolutions and the numerical method VAS2D,

Shock waves in water

Journal of Applied Physics, 1988
The present paper gives a comprehensive examination of equations and charts for shock waves in water. The Tait equation of state is used in the analysis to describe the compressibility of water. The results for an oblique shock wave are presented in the hodograph plane where all possible velocity vectors downstream of the shock wave are seen to lay on ...

Shock waves in quasicrystals

Ferroelectrics, 2000
Abstract Shock waves represent a heavy load on materials. In solids, they create a variety of defects like shear bands or crystal domains. Waves of large amplitude may destroy the structural order completely. We study shock waves in an Al–Cu–Li-type model quasicrystal, in a closely related crystal structure, the C15 (MgCu 2 ) Laves phase, and in an ...

Shock wave treatment in orthopedics

Der Urologe A, 1997
Extracorporeal shock waves have revolutionized urological stone treatment. Nowadays shock waves are widely used in orthopedics, too. This article reviews the applications of extracorporeal shock waves on bone and adjacent soft tissue. The osteoneogenetic effect of extracorporeal shock waves has been proven and can be used to treat pseudarthrosis with a

Shock Waves in Plasmas

1972
Supersonic flow in a nonconducting fluid can give rise to shock waves, i.e., surfaces at which the pressure, density, and stream velocity change abruptly over a short distance. This distance, i.e., the front thickness of the shock wave, is determined by dissipative processes such as viscosity and thermal conductivity.
