1. On focusing of shock waves
Sammanfattning : Both experimental and numerical investigations of converging shock waves have been performed. In the experiments, a shock tube was used to create and study converging shock waves of various geometrical shapes. Two methods were used to create polygonally shaped shocks. LÄS MER
2. On focusing of strong shock waves
Sammanfattning : Focusing of strong shock waves in a gas-filled thin test section with various forms of the reflector boundary is investigated. The test section is mounted at the end of the horizontal co-axial shock tube. Two different methods to produce shock waves of various forms are implemented. LÄS MER
3. Energy concentration by converging shock waves in gases
Sammanfattning : Converging shock waves have been studied experimentally in a shock tube, and numerically using inviscid calculations and the theory of geometrical shock dynamics. The converging shock waves were created in a shocktube with two modular test sections designed to create cylindrical respectively spherical waves. LÄS MER
4. On dynamics and thermal radiation of imploding shock waves
Sammanfattning : Converging cylindrical shock waves have been studied experimentally. Numericalcalculations based on the Euler equations and analytical comparisons basedon the approximate theory of geometrical shock dynamics have been made tocomplement the study.Shock waves with circular or polygonal shock front shapes have been createdand focused in a shock tube. LÄS MER
5. Strong blast wave interaction with multiphase media
Sammanfattning : The interaction of a blast wave propagating in air with different fluids like water column, aqueous foam and thermal/density inhomogeneity have been studied both experimentally and numerically. The blast waves were generated at atmospheric conditions in a newly constructed exploding wire facility. LÄS MER
