Dissipative Instability of Shock Waves

A new condition is obtained for the linear instability of a plane front of an intense shock wave in an arbitrary medium, which is determined by the finiteness of the viscosity. It is shown that the shock front instability occurs due to dissipative instability of the flow behind the front, which is analogous to the flow instability in the boundary layer. It is found that in the low-viscosity limit, one-dimensional longitudinal perturbations increase much faster than two-dimensional (corrugation) perturbations. The results are compared with the available data of experimental observation and numerical simulation of instability of shock waves. The comparison shows a better agreement between the new absolute shock instability as compared to the condition of such instability in the classical D’yakov theory disregarding viscosity.

Nonequilibrium processes in condensed media: Part 1. Experimental studies in light of nonlocal transport theory

Based on experimental research in shock loading of solid-state materials it is shown that among the important dynamic characteristics of the process, like spatial-temporal mass velocity profiles of shock waves, are the mass velocity variation, velocity defect, and structural instability threshold recorded in real time. Analysis of these characteristics depending on the strain rate, target thickness, and structural state of material demonstrates that conventional approaches of continuum mechanics fail to provide their adequate interpretation and simulation of shock wave processes. A new concept of shock wave processes in condensed media is proposed. The concept, being based on nonlocal nonequilibrium transport theory, allows describing the transition from elastic to hydrodynamic response of a medium depending on the loading rate and time. A nonstationary elastoplastic wave model is proposed for describing the relaxation of an elastic precursor and formation of a retarded plastic front during the wave propagation in a medium with regard to structural evolution. Analysis of the experimental data shows that the division of stresses and strains into elastic and plastic components is incorrect for shock loading.

Rayleigh mechanism of local elevation of energy in propagation of a shock wave in an active medium

A mechanism of action of a shock wave on an active medium, which leads to an additional energy release source, is considered. This source moves together with the shock wave front and depends on the magnitude and direction of the electric field applied to the plasma and on the current density in the plasma. The study is a continuation of an earlier publication devoted to the propagation of weak shock waves. Here, we consider shock waves of an arbitrary intensity with an arbitrary mechanism of formation of an additional energy contribution due to variation of the parameters of the medium as a result of passage of the shock wave. Special cases of this effect are the propagation of a shock wave in a plasma and detonation burning.

Propagation of pressure waves in a three-phase medium of cluster structure

The propagation of a step-shaped shock wave in a liquid is investigated experimentally. The liquid contains spherical three-phase clusters (liquid, solid balls, gas bubbles). A comparison of the experimental data on the velocity and wave structure with calculations with the use of the Boussinesq equation for a three-phase cluster medium is made. It is shown that the sound speed in a three-phase medium of cluster structure is higher than in a homogeneous three-phase medium.     

A method for tractable dynamical studies of single and double shock compression

A new multiscale simulation method is formulated for the study of shocked materials. The method combines molecular dynamics and the Euler equations for compressible flow. Treatment of the difficult problem of the spontaneous formation of multiple shock waves due to material instabilities is enabled with this approach. The method allows the molecular dynamics simulation of the system under dynamical shock conditions for orders of magnitude longer time periods than is possible using the popular nonequilibrium molecular dynamics approach. An example calculation is given for a model potential for silicon in which a computational speedup of 10(5) is demonstrated. Results of these simulations are consistent with the recent experimental observation of an anomalously large elastic precursor on the nanosecond time scale.     

Numerical simulation of an energy deposition zone in quiescent air and in a supersonic flow under the conditions of interaction with a normal shock

The potential of using the Euler equations to numerically simulate the evolution of localized energy deposition zones interacting with a normal shock in quiescent air and in a supersonic channel flow is demonstrated. Simulation results are compared with available experimental data for an optical discharge in quiescent air and with results calculated for a supersonic flow using the Navier-Stokes equations with allowance for real gas effects. The possibility of predicting gasdynamic effects using the T- and q-models of energy deposition for perfect gas is justified. The variation of the gasdynamic structure and flow parameters near an energy deposition zone developing in a quiescent medium and interacting with a normal shock is analyzed in detail for different energy deposition powers.     

多孔铁冲击温度的分子动力学模拟

Observation of locked optical kink-antikink spatial shock waves

We report the first experimental observation of optical spatial shock-wave pairs. The shock waves consist of two coupled kink and antikink beams that remain locked to each other throughout propagation in a nonlinear diffusion-driven photorefractive crystal. These coupled shock-wave pairs move undistorted at angles that fall outside their original angular sector of propagation.

A mechanistic analysis of stone fracture in lithotripsy

In vitro experiments and an elastic wave model were used to analyze how stress is induced in kidney stones by lithotripsy and to test the roles of individual mechanisms-spallation, squeezing, and cavitation. Cylindrical U30 cement stones were treated in an HM-3-style lithotripter. Baffles were used to block specific waves responsible for spallation or squeezing. Stones with and without surface cracks added to simulate cavitation damage were tested in glycerol (a cavitation suppressive medium). Each case was simulated using the elasticity equations for an isotropic medium. The calculated location of maximum stress compared well with the experimental observations of where stones fractured in two pieces. Higher calculated maximum tensile stress correlated with fewer shock waves required for fracture. The highest calculated tensile stresses resulted from shear waves initiated at the proximal corners and strengthened along the side surfaces of the stone by the liquid-borne lithotripter shock wave. Peak tensile stress was in the distal end of the stone where fracture occurred. Reflection of the longitudinal wave from the distal face of the stone--spallation-produced lower stresses. Surface cracks accelerated fragmentation when created near the location where the maximum stress was predicted.     

Enhancement of surface plasmons in an Ag aggregate by optical gain in a dielectric medium

We have observed the compensation of loss in a metal by a gain in a dielectric medium in the mixture of an Ag aggregate and a Rhodamine 6G dye. The demonstrated sixfold enhancement of the Rayleigh scattering is the evidence of the enhancement of the surface-plasmon resonance. The reported experimental observation facilitates many applications of nanoplasmonics.
