The monograph deals with experimental research into the physical properties of plasma behind powerful shock waves arising during a powerful impulse discharge. The results are presented of experimental studies of the structure of the luminosity front in electromagnetic shock waves, the state of the gas behind a shock wave, the properties of plasma along the discharge chamber, and magnetic fields in the plasma. The difficulties and prospects for using electromagnetic shock tubes for a wide range of physical studies are examined. Various methods were used while carrying out experiments, including optical, spectral, contact, high-frequency, electromagnetic, and other studies. Physical phenomena in electromagnetic shock tubes are examined only from the gas dynamics point of view. (Author).
An electromagnetically driven shock tube was studied as a possible new tool for aerodynamic research in which velocities of up to 41,000 feet per second are obtainable in air. At these high velocities stagnation temperatures of about 35,000K are produced. The simple construction and operation of the shock tube is described and an evaluation is made of its performance. The potentialities and limitations of the apparatus are discussed with regards to research applications. The results of some magnetoaerodynamic studies are presented to show the usefulness of this type of shock tube. (Author).
This volume contains the proceedings of a symposium held at the University of Toronto in June 1969. The symposium consisted of six sessions; each containing an invited paper, followed by six contributed papers reporting on recent, relevant research and development. The topics are: a review of research problems in basic shock tube flows and the possibilities for the shock tube in the future; driving techniques; explosive drivers; theoretical and experimental research in electromagnetic shock tubes; chemical kinetics and spectroscopy; and a review of shock tube diagnostics, instrumentation and fundamental data as well as the measurement of physical quantities.
Sponsored by the U.S. Air Force Office of Scientific Research, this conference was held in Niagara Falls on July 6–9, 1981. This book includes material on the following topics: instrumentation and diagnostics, shock tube facilities and techniques, gas dynamic experiments, heat transfer and real gas effects, boundary layers, shock structure, shock propagation, laser and spectral optical studies, chem and kinetics, relaxation and excitation, ionization, dusty gases, two-phase flow and condensation, shock waves in the environment and energy, and energy-related processes. The book contains a total of 98 papers by well-known specialists.
The papers in the volume are divided into three parts and arranged according to their presentation at the symposium. The first part contains the plenary lectures (sessions A) including the Paul Vieille (1A) and the Otto Laporte (7A) memorial lectures. The second part contains all the papers presented in sessions B and deals with the general field of shock waves and gasdynamics. Topics covered in these sessions included shock tube facilities, shock flow computations, ionized gases in shock waves, instrumentation and experimental techniques, shock reflections and interactions, shock waves and jets, and plasma flow. The papers in the third part are those presented in sessions C. They describe work related to chemical and physical processes in shock waves. Topics covered were chemical rate processes, detonations, diagnostics and experimental methods, lasers and energy and waves.
