Transition Between Regular Reflection and Mach Reflection in the Dual-Solution Domain [PDF]
, 2007 A study of the shock-reflection domain for steady flow is presented. Conditions defining boundaries between different possible shock-reflection solutions are given, and where possible, simple analytic expressions for these conditions are presented. A new,

Detonation Induced Strain in Tubes [PDF]
, 2010 When a detonation wave propagates through a piping system, it acts as a traveling pressure load to the pipe wall. The detonation wave must be followed by an expansion wave in order to bring the combustion products to zero velocity at the ignition end ...

Understanding the Mechanics of Blast Pressure Waves Inside a Shock-Tube: Effects of Geometry Optimization on the Blast Profile [PDF]
, 2017 While many theoretical and numerical studies have been carried out to study blast induced traumatic brain injury (bTBI), validation of simulation results is still a concern due to moral issues and experimental constraints.

Detonation Diffraction in Mixtures with Various Degrees of Instability [PDF]
, 2005 Planar laser induced fluorescence (PLIF) is widely used in combustion diagnostics but has only recently been successfully applied to detonation. The strong spatial variations in temperature, pressure, and background composition under these conditions ...

Field Experiments and Numerical Analysis of the Ground Vibration Isolation of Shock Wave Propagation under Explosion Shock Loading [PDF]
, 2019 Because blast effects can jeopardize the safety of facilities, controlling blast hazards is critical in engineering design and construction. The attenuation and amplification effects generated by blast waves are affected by the topography and terrain of ...

Plane blast wave interaction with an elongated straight and inclined heat-generated inhomogeneity [PDF]
, 2018 The unstable evolution of an elongated elliptically shaped inhomogeneity that is embedded in ambient air and aligned both normal and at an angle to an incident plane blast wave of impact Mach number 2.15 is investigated both experimentally and ...

The immersed-body gas-solid interaction model for blast analysis in fractured solid media [PDF]
, 2016 Blast-induced fractures are simulated by a novel gas-solid interaction model, which combines an immersed-body method and a cohesive zone fracture model. The approach employs a finite element fluid model and a combined finite-discrete element solid model.

Asymptotic theory of ignition and failure of self-sustained detonations [PDF]
, 2004 Based on a general theory of detonation waves with an embedded sonic locus that we have developed in Kasimov (2004) and Stewart & Kasimov (2004), we carry out asymptotic analysis of weakly-curved slowly-varying detonation waves and show that the theory ...

Deep Underground Science and Engineering, EarlyView.Seismic waves with tensile stress, high amplitude, and low frequency are most likely to trigger block instability and sliding. Blocks with a single sliding surface are more prone to movement than those with multiple constraints, and roof‐positioned blocks are especially vulnerable to slide.
