Experimental Studies of Shock Interactions with a Multiphase Medium

摘要

We present a preliminary study of the evolution of shock-accelerated multiphase flow in the presence of gases of different density, as well as small liquid droplets. The study reveals several interesting behaviors. Even in the case when the flow is dominated by RMI, the droplets, while following some features of the RMI-induced flow field, clearly do not behave as passive tracers. This observation and several other features of the flow suggest a future systematic study.
