Extent Of Damage

Shock wave parameters of cabins for shipboard defensive structure are studied based on shock wave theory. The destroy of defensive structure can be estimated by impulse of shock wave. In the process of air shock wave propagating, isentropic suction wave is reflected from void cabin into defense structure. The solution of shock wave attenuation of void cabin can be reached by using isentropic line to replace the shock adiabatic of the reflected shock. It can be seen from the example that the multi-layers defense structure system of warship is very important to decrease the damage from explosive shock wave. The method can be used to predict the extent of damage of naval vessel.

Shock Wave Theory

The available observational information on the geometrical structure, emission line and continuous spectra, line profiles, radial velocities and linear polarization of Herbig-Haro objects is briefly reviewed. We emphasize the inhomogeneous structure of the “classical” Herbig-Haro objects and the appearance of small “condensations” with radii of ~300-900 a.u. The apparent paradox of the presence of “gaseous nebula type” as well as “reflection type” Herbig-Haro objects is discussed.A purelyempiricalmodel of the regions of line formation is discussed. It shows that regions of low density (Ne~103cm-3) cover the space between the condensations and most of the volume of the condensations themselves. Only between 0.1 and 1% of the volume of the condensations is covered by a high density medium (Ne~ 4 x 104cm-3, N ~105cm-3) which, however, contributes very strongly to the formation of the spectrum.Differenttheoretical modelsfor the line forming regions are discussed. We strongly favor the shock wave theory in which the emission lines are formed in the cooling regions of (running) shock waves. The general agreement between observations and the new calculations by Raymond is emphasized, and the few remaining discrepancies are discussed. The possibilities of explaining other properties of Herbig-Haro objects (including time scales, sizes and filling factors of condensations) are described.

Shock Wave Theory

The characteristic features of interstellar gas clouds—existence of large density fluctuations, their connection with cosmic dust, stretching along the magnetic fields, and so on—may be described by a shock wave theory in interstellar space.The author has developed a theory of stationary shock waves accompanied by losses of energy by means of radiation. Choosing two surfaces on both sides of the front, so that the regions of energy radiation should lie between them, we can write an equation for the mass flow and for the impulse conservation between these surfaces, and two equations which determine the stationary temperature of the gas in the field of interstellar radiation. The solution of this system of equations permits one to determine the general changes of thermodynamic and other parameters for the transition of gas through the shock wave with regions of radiative cooling. If changes of the degree of ionization take place, and a magnetic field is present, some terms should necessarily be added to the corresponding equations.The boundary between the interstellar gas cloud and the intercloud medium must represent the shock wave accompanied by losses of energy by means of radiation, because such ruptures may probably be supposed as the sole explanation of stability of the great density changes (a hundred times and more) often observed in the interstellar space.In this paper we give some results of the theory of shock waves accompanied by radiative losses of energy.
