Abstract
The interaction and coalescence of shock waves originating from multiple explosion sources were studied using numerical simulations and theoretical analysis. The effects of the mass distribution, layout, and quantity of explosion sources were considered, and an engineering calculation model for shock wave parameters at the focus center was established. The results show that the peak overpressure at the focus center is significantly changed only when the mass ratio of the two explosion sources increases beyond two. Overall, the peak overpressure at the focus center decreases with the increase in mass ratio. The focus effect of multiple explosion sources is the greatest when the sources are uniformly distributed on a circle. When the number of explosion sources is less than four, the peak overpressure and specific impulse at the focus center increase with the increase of the number of explosion sources. Increasing the number of explosion sources from one to four results in an increase in the peak overpressure by a factor of 0.73–5.23 and an increase in the specific impulse gain by a factor of 1.59–4.71. The results from simulations and experiments verify the validity of the model used to characterize multiple explosion sources.
期刊介绍:
Shock Waves provides a forum for presenting and discussing new results in all fields where shock and detonation phenomena play a role. The journal addresses physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians working on theoretical, experimental or numerical issues, including diagnostics and flow visualization.
The research fields considered include, but are not limited to, aero- and gas dynamics, acoustics, physical chemistry, condensed matter and plasmas, with applications encompassing materials sciences, space sciences, geosciences, life sciences and medicine.
Of particular interest are contributions which provide insights into fundamental aspects of the techniques that are relevant to more than one specific research community.
The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles and short notes, as well as comments on papers already published in this journal. Occasionally concise meeting reports of interest to the Shock Waves community are published.
