Over the past century, understanding the nature of shock compression of condensed matter has been a major topic. About 20 years ago, a femtosecond laser emerged as a new shock-driver. Unlike conventional shock waves, a femtosecond laser-driven shock wave

Whistler mode waves upstream of Saturn [PDF]
Whistler-mode waves are generated within and can propagate upstream of collisionless shocks. They are known to play a role in electron thermodynamics/acceleration and, under certain conditions, are markedly observed as wave trains preceding the shock ...

Thermal instability in the collisionally cooled gas
We have presented the non-equilibrium (time-dependent) cooling rate and ionization state calculations for a gas behind shock waves with $v \sim 50-150$ km s$^{-1}$ ($T_s \sim 0.5 - 6\times 10^5$ K). Such shock waves do not lead to the radiative precursor

Observation of the shock wave propagation induced by a high-power laser irradiation into an epoxy material [PDF]
The propagation of laser-induced shock waves in a transparent epoxy sample is investigated by optical shadowgraphy. The shock waves are generated by a focused laser (3 ns pulse duration—1.2 to 3.4TWcm−2) producing pressure from 44 to 98.9 GPa.

Sharp viscous shock waves for relaxation model with degeneracy
This article is concerned with a relaxation model with degeneracy. Different from the existing studies on the regular viscous shock waves, we recognize that when the sub-characteristic condition is degenerate, the dynamical system possesses sharp viscous

Carbon nanotube–polymethyl siloxane (CNT-PDMS) composite transducers generate shock waves using optoacoustic technology. A thin layer of thermally conductive CNT and elastomeric polymer, PDMS, is applied on the concave surface of transparent ...

Solitary versus Shock Wave Acceleration in Laser-Plasma Interactions
The excitation of nonlinear electrostatic waves, such as shock and solitons, by ultraintense laser interaction with overdense plasmas and related ion acceleration are investigated by numerical simulations.

It is shown that laser ablation pretreatment under oxygen‐free conditions enables copper–aluminium bonding at significantly lower deformation degrees and improved properties compared to mechanical brushing. Laser ablation further increases interface contact area and induces favourable residual stress states and microstructural compatibility ...

Numerical evaluation of shock wave effects on turbulent mixing layers in a scramjet combustor
ABSTRCT: The effects of shock waves on turbulent mixing layers in a supersonic combustor are investigated. An asymmetric scramjet combustor with strut designed and tested by German Aerospace Center is taken as the physical model.

Cherenkov-like shock waves associated with surpassing the light velocity barrier [PDF]
The effects arising from accelerated and decelerated motion of a point charge inside a medium are studied. The motion is manifestly relativistic and may be produced by a constant uniform electric field.
