On cylindrically converging shock waves shaped by obstacles
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by recent experiments, numerical simulations were performed of cylindrically converging shock waves. The converging shocks impinged upon a set of zero to sixteen regularly space obstacles. For more than two obstacles the resulting diffracted shock fronts formed polygonal shaped patterns near the point of focus. The maximum pressure and temperature as a function of number of obstacles were studied. The self-similar behavior of cylindrical, triangular and square-shaped shocks were also investigated.

Numerical Solution of Cylindrically Converging Shock Waves
Abstract—The cylindrically converging shock wave was numerically simulated by solving the Euler equations in cylindrical coordinates with TVD scheme and MUSCL [1] approach, using Roe's approximate Riemann solver [2] and super-bee nonlinear limiter [3]. The present study used the in house code developed for this purpose. The behavior of the solution in the vicinity of axis is investigated and ...

Propagation and dispersion of acoustic waves is one of the important phenomena in physics. Acoustic-waves are nowadays widely used in a variety of applications ranging from underwater communications, identification and specification of the internal defects of materials to extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy. Apart from application and utilization of such phenomena, study on production and pro...
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...
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 کاملNumerical Study on Low Reynolds Mixing ofT-Shaped Micro-Mixers with Obstacles
Micromixers are one of the most crucial components of Lab-On-a-Chip devices with the intention of mixing and dispersion of reagents like small molecules and particles. The challenge facing micromixers is typically insufficient mixing efficiency in basic designs, which results in longer microchannels. Therefore, it is desirable to increase mixing efficiency, in order to decrease mixing length, w...
