Interaction of weak shock waves with cylindrical and spherical gas inhomogeneities
The interaction of a plane weak shock wave with a single discrete gaseous inhomogeneity is studied as a model of the mechanisms by which finite-amplitude waves in random media generate turbulence and intensify mixing. The experiments are treated as an example of the shock-induced Rayleigh-Taylor instability, or RichtmyerMeshkov instability, with large initial distortions of the gas interfaces. ...
متن کاملDetonation Initiation via Imploding Shock Waves
An imploding annular shock wave driven by a jet of air was used to initiate detonations inside a 76 mm diameter tube. The tube was filled with a test gas composed of either stoichiometric ethylene-oxygen or propane-oxygen diluted with nitrogen. The strength of the imploding shock wave and the sensitivity of the test gas were varied in an effort to find the minimum shock strength required for de...
متن کاملDetonation Initiation in a Tube via Imploding Toroidal Shock Waves
The effectiveness of imploding waves at detonation initiation of stoichiometric ethyleneand propane–oxygen– nitrogen mixtures in a tube was investigated. Implosions were driven by twice-shocked gas located at the end of a shock tube, and wave strength was varied to determine the critical conditions necessary for initiation as a function of diluent concentration for each fuel. Hydrocarbon–air mi...
متن کاملShock Waves in Gas Dynamics
Shock wave theory was studied in literature by many authors. This article presents a survey with references about various topics related to shock waves: Hyperbolic conservation laws, Well-posedness theory, Compactness theory, Shock and reaction-di¤usion wave, The CJ and ZND theory, Existence of detonation in Majdas model, Premixed laminar ame, Multidimensional gas ows, Multidimensional Riema...
متن کاملOn converging shock waves of spherical and polyhedral form
The behaviour of converging spherical shock waves is considered using Whitham’s theory of geometrical shock dynamics. An analysis of converging shocks whose initial shape takes the form of regular polyhedra is presented. The analysis of this problem is motivated by the earlier work on converging cylindrical shocks discussed in Schwendeman & Whitham (1987). In that paper, exact solutions were re...
