Shock Focusing Phenomena : High Energy Density Phenomena and Dynamics of Converging Shocks Paperback / softback
by NICHOLAS APAZIDIS, Veronica Eliasson
Part of the Shock Wave and High Pressure Phenomena series
Paperback / softback
Description
One of the main reasons for continuing interest in shock focusing is its ability to concentrate energy in a small volume and produce extreme temperatures and pressures in fluids in a controlled laboratory environment.
The phenomenon of shock wave focusing leading to extreme conditions in fluids during micro- and nanosecond time intervals is a spectacular example of mechanics at small length and time scales revealing the major properties of shock dynamics including high-temperature gas phenomena.
Production of high-energy concentrations in gases and fluids with star-like temperatures and extreme pressures by means of a stable imploding shock is of great interest not only in its own right but also because of the connection to a multitude of phenomena in nature, technology and medicine.
