Hugoniot and refractive indices of bromoform under shock compression

Shock Hugoniot of H2O ice

[1] The outcome of impacts onto and between icy planetary bodies is controlled by the material response defined by the shock Hugoniot. New Lagrangian shock wave profile measurements in H2O ice at initial temperatures (T0) of 100 K, together with previous T0 = 263 K data, define five distinct regions on the ice Hugoniot: elastic shocks in ice Ih, ice Ih deformation shocks, and shock transformati...

Numerical Method for Shock Front Hugoniot States

We describe a Continuous Hugoniot Method for the efficient simulation of shock wave fronts. This approach achieves significantly improved efficiency when the generation of a tightly spaced collection of individual steady-state shock front states is desired, and allows for the study of shocks as a function of a continuous shock strength parameter, vp. This is, to our knowledge, the first attempt...

Calculation of Shock Hugoniot Curves of Precompressed Liquid Deuterium

Path integral Monte Carlo simulations have been used to study deuterium at high pressure and temperature. The equation of state has been derived in the temperature and density region of 10 000 ≤ T ≤ 1 000 000K and 0.6 ≤ ρ ≤ 2.5 g cm. A series of shock Hugoniot curves is computed for different initial compressions in order to compare with current and future shock wave experiments using liquid de...

Density and refractive indices of lactose solutions.

Lactose, the disacch arid e commonly known as milk sugar , has for many years been of commercial impor tance. U nt il r ecently i ts principal usc was in the manufacture of pharmaceu ticals, food products, and in th e preparation of modifi ed di ets; however, the penicillium industry now also r equires large quantiti es of this sugar. ! In th e presen t investigation measurements h ave been mad...
