Shock and Detonation Waves Generated by a Wire Explosion in Liquids and Bubbled Media

摘要

Parameters of shock waves generated by a wire explosion in a gas, liquid, and inert or reactive bubbled media in a vertical shock tube are measured. Problems of shock wave velocity measurements in a liquid and inert bubbled medium are discussed. Experimental data are compared with theoretical estimates. Excitation of self-sustained detonation in a chemically active medium by a short shock wave induced by a wire explosion is studied.
