Direct visualization of laser-driven focusing shock waves.
Direct real-time visualization and measurement of laser-driven shock generation, propagation, and 2D focusing in a sample are demonstrated. A substantial increase of the pressure at the convergence of the cylindrical acoustic shock front is observed experimentally and simulated numerically. Single-shot acquisitions using a streak camera reveal that at the convergence of the shock wave in water ...
متن کاملThe focusing of weak shock waves
This paper reports an experimental investigation, using shadowgraphs and pressure measurements, of the detailed behaviour of converging weak shock waves near three different kinds of focus. Shocks are brought to a focus by reflecting initially plane fronts from concave end walls in a large shock tube. The reflectors are shaped to generate perfect foci, ar6tes and caustics. It is found that, nea...
متن کاملShock wave focusing using geometrical shock dynamics
A finite-difference numerical method for geometrical shock dynamics has been developed based on the analogy between the nonlinear ray equations and the supersonic potential equation. The method has proven to be an efficient and inexpensive tool for approximately analyzing the focusing of weak shock waves, where complex nonlinear wave interactions occur over a large range of physical scales. The...
متن کاملFocusing of weak shock waves and the von Neumann paradox of oblique shock reflection
Some phenomena involving intersection of weak shock waves at small angles are considered: the focusing of curved fronts at a&es, the transition between regular and irregular reflection of oblique shock waves on rigid walls and the diffraction patterns arising behind obstacles. The intersection of three shock waves plays a central role in most of these phenomena, giving rise to the von Neumann p...
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...
