Strong Shock Waves

Fragmentation of mercury drops falling through a bubbly aqueous liquid by a pressure shock wave was investigated by means of a shock tube capable of operating at driver pressures up to 3 MPa. The responses to moderately strong shock waves (up to 1.7 MPa) were photographed by a high-speed camera at rates of up to 4400 frames per second. The results show the existence of a critical Weber number, (We)cr = 17, for drop fragmentation. Qualitative characterization of the shock-drop interactions for single mercury drops is provided.

Penetration of model solid particles (polymer, teflon, nylon, alumina) into transparent model liquids (distilled water and aqueous solutions of KI) were recorded by a high speed (500 frames per second) camera, while the particles were dropped from different heights vertically on the still surface of the liquids. In all cases a cavity has been found to form behind the solid particle, penetrating into the liquid. For each particle/liquid combination the critical dropping height has been measured, above which the particle was able to penetrate into the bulk liquid. Based on this, the critical impact particle velocity, and also the critical Weber number of penetration have been established. The critical Weber number of penetration was modelled as a function of the contact angle, particle size and the ratio of the density of solid particles to the density of the liquid.

This paper is a continuing work from one author on the same topic of the transient aerodynamics during compressor stall/surge using a shock tube analogy by Huang [1, 2]. As observed by Mazzawy [3] for the high-speed high-pressure (HSHP) ratio compressors of the modern aero-engines, surge is an event characterized with the stoppage and reversal of engine flow within a matter of milliseconds. This large flow transient is accomplished through a pair of internally generated shock waves and expansion waves of high strength. The final results are often dramatic with a loud bang followed by the spewing out of flames from both the engine intake and exhaust, potentially damaging to the engine structure [3]. It has been demonstrated in the previous investigations by Marshall [4] and Huang [2] that the transient flow reversal phase of a surge cycle can be approximated by the shock tube analogy in understanding its generation mechanism and correlating the shock wave strength as a function of the pre-surge compressor pressure ratio. Kurkov [5] and Evans [8] used a guillotine analogy to estimate the inlet overpressure associated with the sudden flow stoppage associated with surge. This paper will expand the progressive surge model established by the shock tube analogy in [2] by including the dynamic effect of airflow stoppage using an “integrated-flow” sequential guillotine/shock tube model. It further investigates the surge formation (characterized by flow reversal) and propagation patterns (characterized by surge shock and expansion waves) after its generation at different locations inside a compressor. Calculations are conducted for a 12-stage compressor using this model under various surge onset stages and compared with previous experimental data [3]. The results demonstrate that the “integrated-flow” model closely replicates the fast moving surge shock wave overpressure from the stall initiation site to the compressor inlet.

Adhesion problem of marine organisms often becomes a problem, in the case of ship, marine floating construction and sluice gate of power plant. These make fluid resistance of a hull increase, cause a buoyancy fall, or cause reducing coolant etc. Although these are chiefly removed by manual operation now, immense expense and immense labors, such as personnel expenses and time and effort, are needed. We tried application of an underwater shock wave, in order to solve these problems. Interference of a shock wave and the mechanism of marine organisms exfoliation were explored using the explosive and PMMA plate, which imitated a marine organisms adhesion. The process of exfoliation of organisms from PMMA plate was observed by using of the high-speed camera.

Experiments were performed using the laser extinction method to measure the thickness of the liquid film formed by growing flattened bubbles in a microchannel for gap sizes of 0.5 mm, 0.3 mm, and 0.15 mm. Water, ethanol, and toluene were used as test fluids. A high-speed camera was also used to simultaneously measure the bubble growth process. It was confirmed that the gap size and bubble forefront velocity determined the initial microlayer thickness. The variation trend of the microlayer thickness relative to the velocity of the interface was divided into two regions: region I, where the velocity is small and the thickness increases linearly with increasing velocity, and region II, where the thickness is almost constant or decreased slightly with increasing velocity. Furthermore, a nondimensional correlation for investigating the effects of test materials and gap sizes on microlayer thickness is presented. An analysis of the results showed that the boundaries of the two regions correspond to a Weber number of approximately 110, and in the region where the Weber number was smaller than 110, the thickness of the microlayer was thinner for the liquid whose value of ρ0.62ν0.42σ−0.62 was relatively small. However, for the region where Weber number was larger than 110, the smaller the kinematic viscosity of the liquid, the thinner the microlayer became.

A New Technique

The aim of study is to confirm a new technique that can crush the frozen soil and/or ice block using underwater shock wave generated by the underwater explosion of explosive. This technique can lead to the earlier sowing, which can have the larger harvest because the duration of sunshine increases. Especially, in Hokkaido prefecture, Japan, if the sowing is carried out in April, we can expect to have 150% of harvest in the ordinary season. This technique is effective against the cold regions. For example, Korea, China, Mongolia, Russia, Norway, and Sweden, etc. At first, we carried out experiments usung a detonating fuse and ice block. The process of ice breaking was observed by means of a high-speed camera. In order to check about that influence we tried to give an actual frozen soil a shock wave.
