Simple waves in a plasma with anisotropic pressure

Fast and slow simple waves are studied in the framework of the anisotropic magnetohydrodynamics of Chew, Goldberger, and Low [1]. Baranov [2] has constructed fields of integral curves for fast and slow waves and in two special cases has shown that such waves break in the compression section. The possibility of breaking of a slow wave in a rarefaction section was noted by Akhiezer et al. [3]. However, their general relations in simple waves [3] have been shown to be incorrect [2, 4]. In the present paper the nature of the variation of the longitudinal and transverse plasma pressures is determined, and the problem of the breaking of fast and slow waves is completely solved. Conditions under which a slow wave breaks in a rarefaction section are found. A fast wave always breaks in a rarefaction section.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 181–183, July–August, 1988.     

Interaction of rarefaction waves with wet foam

The interaction of rarefaction waves of different shapes with wet water foams is studied experimentally. It is found that the observed values of the pressure are greater, while the surface velocity is lower than the corresponding values predicted by the pseudogas model. The foam breakdown starts as the pressure decreases by 0.3 atm relative to the initial pressure. During downstream propagation of the rarefaction-wave leading edge the propagation velocity decreases.Using of water-based foams as effective screens for damping blast waves in different technological processes has caused considerable interest in studying wave propagation in such systems. The pressure wave dynamics in a foam have been investigated in much detail, both experimentally and theoretically [1–3]. However, the interaction of rarefaction waves with foam has practically never been studied, although it was mentioned in [4] that the unloading phase following the compression wave phase is one of the factors defining the damaging action of blast waves. Besides blast-wave damping, rarefaction wave propagation takes place if such waves are used to breakup foam in oil-producing wells [5].Below, the interaction of rarefaction waves of different shapes with wet water foams is studied. The vertical shock tube described in detail in [3] was used in these experiments.Brest.

The structure and asymptotic behaviour of compression waves

In the study of weak solutions to nonlinear hyperbolic partial differential equations both rarefaction waves and compression waves arise. Although the behavior of rarefaction waves is known for all time, the characteristics that determine a compression wave intersect and hence the development of the wave is not easily determined. The purpose of this paper is to study compression waves. As a first step we consider the Cauchy problem for the nonlinear wave equation. We show that if the data outside some finite interval consist of constant states, then after finite time the solution involves the same states as does the solution to the Riemann problem determined by these constant states. This result is then applied to compression waves to obtain information on the shock that arises and on the steady-state solution. The region of interaction is also described. This information is obtained via a constructive procedure.     

一维与二维爆轰传播的时空关联特性数值研究

一维爆轰传播的理论完备、计算准确, 二维斜爆轰传播由于壁面与黏性效应, 大尺度、高精度预测还有一定难度. 利用Euler方程和H₂-Air基元反应模型, 对二维有限长楔面诱导的斜爆轰和活塞驱动一维非定常正爆轰进行计算比较研究, 从时空两个维度方面, 分析了两者在起爆过程、稀疏波传播、爆轰波面演化中的关联特性. 研究结果表明: 在过驱动度相同的条件下, 经过时空变换的活塞驱动一维爆轰传播与二维驻定斜爆轰在起爆区波系结构、波面演化特征和主要参数分布规律方面无论定性或者定量对比均符合较好, 所以, 一维非定常爆轰和二维驻定斜爆轰具有时空相关性. 两者的差异主要体现在过驱动斜爆轰受稀疏波影响过渡到近Chapman-Jouguet (C-J)爆轰状态所需的弛豫时间不同, 原因可能是起源于活塞和壁面稀疏波强度的差异. 本文提出的一维与二维爆轰传播的时空关联方法不仅有助于认知斜爆轰起爆、过驱爆轰产生、胞格爆轰演化的三阶段规律, 还可以对比揭示壁面、边界层和黏性效应的影响, 应用在斜爆轰发动机燃烧室设计中能够有效节约计算时间和成本, 并降低复杂度.      

平板撞击下C30混凝土中冲击波的传播特性

采用1级气炮加载技术和锰铜应力计多点测试技术,开展了C30混凝土在平板撞击条件下的冲击压缩实验研究。基于锰铜应力计实测的应力波形,研究了混凝土中冲击波的传播特性,结果显示冲击波的应力峰值随传播距离呈现明显的衰减特性,衰减过程可分为2个阶段。在早期阶段,卸载波没有赶上前面传播的冲击波,冲击波应力峰值衰减较慢,主要是混凝土材料的本构粘性效应所引起的;而后期阶段应力峰值的快速衰减则归因于混凝土材料的本构粘性效应、后续的来自飞片自由面的反射波追赶卸载、边侧稀疏波卸载及波传播的几何弥散效应的共同作用;另外,冲击波在混凝土中传播的升时也随着传播距离逐渐增大,即由强间断波逐渐转化为弱间断波。     

Transition of plane overdriven detonation wave to the Chapman-Jouguet regime

The asymptotic laws of behavior for plane, cylindrical, and spherical infinitely thin detonation waves were found in [1, 2] for increasing distance from an igniting source in those cases in which the waves changed into Chapman-Jouguet waves as they decayed. It was shown that the plane overdriven detonation wave approaches the Chapman-Jouguet regime asymptotically, while the transition of the cylindrical or spherical strong detonation wave into the Chapman-Jouguet wave may occur at a finite distance from the initiation source.Similar conclusions are valid for the propagation of stationary steadystate detonation waves which arise with flow of combustible gas mixtures past bodies.However, numerous experiments [3, 4] on firing bodies in a detonating gas show that the overdriven detonation wave which forms ahead of the body decays and decomposes into an ordinary compression shock and a slow combustion front. To establish why the wave does not make the transition to the Chapman-Jouguet regime, in the following we consider the propagation of a plane detonation wave and account for finite chemical reaction rates. We use the very simple two-front model (ordinary shock wave and following flame front). Conditions are found for which transition to the Chapman-Jouguet regime does not occur. We first consider the propagation of an unsteady plane wave and then the steady plane wave. It is found that for all the mixtures used in these experiments transition to the Chapman-Jouguet regime is not possible within the framework of the assumed model.     

The effects that changes in the diaphragm aperture have on the resulting shock tube flow

In a conventional shock tube, the driver and the driven sections have similar (if not identical) cross-sectional area and the diaphragm opened area, upon rupturing, is practically equal to the tube cross-sectional area. Such geometry results in generating a well-formed shock wave in the tube’s driven section. The present experimental work checks the effects that changes in the diaphragm ruptured area have on the generated shock and rarefaction waves. Experiments were conducted in an 80?mm by 80?mm cross section shock tube generating incident shock waves having Mach numbers within the range from 1.06 to 1.25. In each run, pressure histories were recorded along the driven and the driver sections of the shock tube. The recorded pressures reveal that progressive reduction in the diaphragm open space resulted in a weaker shock and both longer time and distance until the compression waves generated close to the diaphragm coalesces into a shock wave. In addition, reducing the open space of the diaphragm resulted in a significant slow down in the high pressure reduction prevailing in the driver section.     

薄壁管预扭冲击拉伸实验装置的研制

材料在复合应力下的拉压或扭转行为常常与单轴拉压或者单轴扭转应力下不同,拉压以及扭转常体现出相互影响的特点。而复合应力下的塑性波可以有效地反映材料在复合应力下的本构行为特点。本文通过对霍普金森压杆进行改造,建立了一套薄壁管预扭冲击拉伸的实验装置,可以在薄壁管内产生拉扭耦合塑性波,并对率相关材料304不锈钢进行了薄壁管预扭拉伸实验研究,得到了该材料的拉扭耦合塑性波。结果表明,304不锈钢薄壁管的拉扭耦合塑性波具有明显的耦合快波和耦合慢波的双波结构,并且快波慢波之间没有恒值区间隔。同时也表明,该装置可以实现预期效果,并且可以有效避免薄壁管屈曲的产生。     

Regular reflection of a magnetohydrodynamic shock wave from a conducting wall

In two-dimensional supersonic gasdynamics, one of the classical steady-state problems, which include shock waves and other discontinuities, is the problem concerning the oblique reflection of a shock wave from a plane wall. It is well known [1–3] that two types of reflection are possible: regular and Mach. The problem concerning the regular reflection of a magnetohydrodynamic shock wave from an infinitely conducting plane wall is considered here within the scope of ideal magnetohydrodynamics [4]. It is supposed that the magnetic field, normal to the wall, is not equal to zero. The solution of the problem is constructed for incident waves of different types (fast and slow). It is found that, depending on the initial data, the solution can have a qualitatively different nature. In contrast from gasdynamics, the incident wave is reflected in the form of two waves, which can be centered rarefaction waves. A similar problem for the special case of the magnetic field parallel to the flow was considered earlier in [5, 6]. The normal component of the magnetic field at the wall was equated to zero, the solution was constructed only for the case of incidence of a fast shock wave, and the flow pattern is similar in form to that of gasdynamics. The solution of the problem concerning the reflection of a shock wave constructed in this paper is necessary for the interpretation of experiments in shock tubes [7–10].Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 102–109, May–June, 1977.The author thanks A.

Kinetic Models for a Gas Filled Porous Matrix. WAVE PROPAGATION

The propagation of small perturbation in a gas filled porous matrix is investigated. The skeleton is supposed rigid and governed by the energy balance equation, where the heat exchanged between the two phases is taken into account. The Boltzmann equation is written for the gas where the integrals of the collisions between gas and solid particles are evaluated as those for the particles of a mixture. Different choices of the time and space scales lead to models equations which hold for different rarefaction regimes. The wave propagation characteristics are then dealt with in various situations.     

Wave propagation in an unconsolidated granular material: A micro-mechanical approach

We provide a theoretical analysis to support the presence of both slow and fast compression waves in an unconsolidated, fully saturated, granular material. We derive the constitutive relation for such an aggregate based upon a micro-mechanics analysis. In doing this, we take in account the coupling between the solid particles and fluid. As a consequence of this coupling, the lubrication layer provides a connection between particles, both when they are separating and when they are compressing. The predictions of the speed and attenuation of the fast compression waves compare well with experimental data over the range of frequencies for which the nonlinear dissipation associated with the relative velocities between solid and fluid is negligible. Slow waves are also predicted without comparison, because of the absence of clear experimental data. Predictions of the speed and attenuation for the shear wave are also provided and show a good agreement with experimental data when surface roughness is taken into account.     

Solution of Riemann problem for dusty gas flow

A direct approach is used to solve the Riemann problem for a quasilinear hyperbolic system of equations governing the one dimensional unsteady planar flow of an isentropic, inviscid compressible fluid in the presence of dust particles. The elementary wave solutions of the Riemann problem, that is, shock waves, rarefaction waves and contact discontinuities are derived and their properties are discussed for a dusty gas. The generalised Riemann invariants are used to find the solution between rarefaction wave and the contact discontinuity and also inside rarefaction fan. Unlike the ordinary gasdynamic case, the solution inside the rarefaction waves in dusty gas cannot be obtained directly and explicitly; indeed, it requires an extra iteration procedure. Although the case of dusty gas is more complex than the ordinary gas dynamics case, all the parallel results for compressive waves remain identical. We also compare/contrast the nature of the solution in an ordinary gasdynamics and the dusty gas flow case.     

Generalized ray expansion for pulse propagation and attenuation in fluid-saturated porous media

A theory suitable for studying pulses propagating through a layered fluid-saturated porous medium is presented. Biot's theory is used to describe the constitutive equation of a fluid-saturated porous solid. Since fast and slow compressional waves exist in a Biot solid even at normal incidence, there is mode conversion at the interface and, therefore, the transmission and reflection coefficients are 2x2 matrices. We use matrix methods in developing the solution of the wave propagation problem. A generalized ray expansion algorithm is obtained by using the Gauss-Seidel matrix iterative method. The arrivals of the fast and the slow waves are easily identified. A compact computational algorithm is developed using combinatorial analysis and the Cayley-Hamilton theorem.     

A numerical study of weak shock wave propagation in a reactive bubbly liquid

A numerical study is presented on the response of a weakly shock compressed liquid column that contains reactive gas bubbles. Both the liquid and gas are considered compressible. Compressibility of the liquid allows calculation of shock and rarefaction waves in the pure liquid as well as in the gas/liquid mixture. A microscopic model for local bubble collapse is coupled with a macroscopic model of wave propagation through the gas/liquid mixture. In the particular cases presented here, the characteristic times of propagation of the shock wave and bubble collapse are of the same order of magnitude. Consequently, the coupling between various phenomena is very strong. The present model based on fundamental principles of two-phase fluid mechanics takes into account the coupling of localized bubble oscillations. This model is composed of a microscopic one in the scale of a bubble size, and a macroscopic one which is based on the mixture theory. The liquid under study is water, and the gas is a reactive mixture of argon, hydrogen and oxygen. Received 18 December 1995 / Accepted 2 June 1996     

Numerical and experimental investigation of wave dynamic processes in high-speed train/tunnels

Numerical and experimental investigation on wave dynamic processes induced by high-speed trains entering railway tunnels are presented. Experiments were conducted by using a 1:250 scaled train-tunnel simulator. Numerical simulations were carried out by solving the axisymmetric Euler equations with the dispersion-controlled scheme implemented with moving boundary conditions. Pressure histories at various positions inside the train-tunnel simulator at different distance measured from the entrance of the simulator are recorded both numerically and experimentally, and then compared with each other for two train speeds. After the validation of nonlinear wave phenomena, detailed numerical simulations were then conducted to account for the generation of compression waves near the entrance, the propagation of these waves along the train tunnel, and their gradual development into a weak shock wave. Four wave dynamic processes observed are interpreted by combining numerical results with experiments. They are: high-speed trains moving over a free terrain before entering railway tunnels; the abrupt-entering of high-speed trains into railway tunnels; the abrupt-entering of the tail of high-speed trains into railway tunnels; and the interaction of compression and expansion waves ahead of high-speed trains. The effects of train-tunnel configuration, such as the train length and the train-tunnel blockage ratio, on these wave processes have been investigated as well.
