0 a sudden wave of increased pressure or temperature, caused by an explosion, an earthquake, or an object moving faster than the speed of sound
1 a strong reaction within a group of people to an upsetting piece of news:
2 a sudden increase in pressure or temperature caused by an explosion or other violent or fast movement:
The bomb’s shock wave tore the windshield off the truck.
One of these aspects is the shock wave interaction with a developed turbulized layer.
The experimentally obtained shock wave behaviors at initial phase are almost the same with the numerical results.
We have also investigated a behavior of a plasma boundary and a shock wave in water both experimentally and numerically.
The spall strength limit of matter at ultrahigh strain rates induced by laser shock wave.
We have compared the numerical results of shock wave velocities with experimental data.
Theoretical investigation of shock wave instability in metals.
Two photodiodes measured the time difference between the main laser pulse, generating the shock wave, and the diagnostic laser producing the hologram.
The presence of this shock wave results in a high drag coefficient compared with that of a pointed body with an attached nose shock wave.
