Abstract:We present an experimental and numerical study of a complex flow that develops upon impulsive (shock) acceleration of a compressible multiphase medium. In the initial conditions, both diffuse density interfaces (gas-gas) and sharp density interfaces (gas-fluid) are present, with the fluid phase embedded within the gas in the form of small droplets. Our initial experiments failed to reveal some features prominent in the numerical simulations. For such occurrences, it is common practice to look for problems with… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
