Erratum: Temperature Overshoots in Shock Waves

Survey of Temperature Measurement Techniques For Studying Underwater Shock Waves

Several optical methods for measuring temperature near underwater shock waves are reviewed and compared. The relative merits of the different techniques are compared, considering accuracy, precision, ease of use, applicable temperature range, maturity, spatial resolution, and whether or not special additives are required.

Shock Waves in Liquid

Asbtract The structure of shock waves in liquids containing gas bubbles is investigated theoretically. The mechanisms taken into account are the steepening of compression waves in the mixture by convection and the effects due to the motion of the bubbles with respect to the surrounding fluid. This relative motion, radial and translational, gives rise to dissipation and to dispersion caused by t...

Shock Waves in Medicine

Shock Waves

Shock wave theory was first studied for gas dynamics, for which shocks appear as compression waves. A shock wave is characterized as a sharp transition, even discontinuity in the flow. In fact, shocks appear in many different physical situation and represent strong nonlinearity of the physical processes. Important progresses have been made on shock wave theory in recent years. We will survey th...

Shock waves in trombones

Based on physical models of musical instruments and of the human voice, a new generation of sound synthesizers is born: virtual instruments. The models used for wind instruments are simple feedback loops in which a nonlinear sound source drives a linear filter representing the pipe of the instrument. While very rewarding musical sounds have been obtained with these models, it has become obvious...
