Shock compression and isentropic release of rhyolite

Shock compression and isentropic release of granite

S U M M A R Y New equation of state data for a weathered granite shocked to about 125 GPa are reported and combined with the Westerly granite data of McQueen, Marsh & Fritz (1967). The shock velocity (Us)-particle velocity (Up) relations can be fitted with two linear regressions: Us = 4.40 + 0.6Up for a range of Up up to about 2 km s-' and Us = 2.66 + 1.49Up for a range of about 2 to 5 km s-'. ...

Z-pinch Driven Isentropic Compression for Inertial Fusion

The achievement of high gain with inertial fusion requires the compression of hydrogen isotopes to high density and temperatures. High densities can be achieved most efficiently by isentropic compression. This requires relatively slow pressure pulses on the order of 10-20 nanoseconds; however, the pressure profile must have the appropriate time history [J. Nuckolls et. al. Nature, 239, 139, 197...

Exploring the Versatility of the Implicit Method of Characteristic (moc) for Transient Simulation of Pipeline Systems

In this paper, versatility of the Implicit Method of Characteristics is further explored. This method is proposed as a versatile method capable of simulating any pipeline system with an arbitrary combination of devices in the system. The method was proposed as a remedy to the limitation of the mostly used conventional Method of Characteristics (MOC). In this method, an element-wise definition i...
