Most of these loads are dynamic, such as the external pressure pulse caused by the blast wave bouncing back from the floor and engulfing the nozzle. Nevertheless, they usually are considered as quasi-static in buckling computations as conservative design methods. Few studies have been investigated on dynamic buckling of thin shells subjected to external pressure pulse. Thus, a large program including experimental tests and numerical simulations have been conducted by the CNES, the French Space Agency. The main objectives are a better understanding of dynamic buckling and establishing a robust design methodology. In this context, two experimental means used for producing dynamic pulses are here considered and investigated, to explore the dynamic buckling of such structures. In one case, the shock wave is produced using a solid explosive, in the shape of a stick in which a nitrate ammonium/sodium nitrate mix is encapsulated. In another setup, the shock wave is produced using a commercial apparatus named DaisyBell<img>. A hydrogen/oxygen mixture is detonated within a conical shock tube, producing a directional free-air-like blast. Both apparatuses are designed to be hanged above snowpack for avalanche preventive release, thus can be held at the desired height using a crane. The pulse intensity measured at the tested sample level can be tuned by moving the explosive up or down. A simplified model of the nozzle, in the form of a cylindrical shell, is proposed for the analysis. This study aims at showing how both apparatuses can be used to simulate free-air-like blasts and can cause the dynamical buckling of a steel cylindrical shell structure.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":775,"journal":{"name":"Shock Waves","volume":"32 8","pages":"703 - 713"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4186366","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The two-dimensional viscous unsteady reactive Navier–Stokes equations with a detailed chemistry model are solved numerically based on the structured adaptive mesh refinement technique in Adaptive Mesh Refinement Object-oriented C<span>(++)</span>. During the ignition to a low-speed flame stage, it is found that initial pressure wave interactions with the wall and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities, induced by the density and pressure gradient misalignment between the ignition region and unburned gas, accelerate the wrinkling and deformation of the flame surface. Consequentially, the flame wrinkles trigger Darrieus–Landau instabilities and as a result the flame accelerates. At the main acceleration stage, the Kelvin–Helmholtz instability formed in the wake of solid obstacles and the strong Kelvin–Helmholtz instability caused by the jets lead to the formation of strong turbulent structures in the flowfield and accelerate the flame propagation. Richtmyer–Meshkov instabilities caused by the interactions of reflected shock waves and the flame surface lead to flame acceleration in the case with solid obstacles. Compared to the tube with fluid jets, although the solid obstacles induce stronger Richtmyer–Meshkov instabilities, the effect of Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities is not obvious. In general, Darrieus–Landau instabilities and Rayleigh–Taylor instabilities dominate at the initial flame-developing stage, and Kelvin–Helmholtz instabilities and Richtmyer–Meshkov instabilities play a more critical role in the flame acceleration due to interactions of the flame, the shock, solid obstacles, and vortices during the deflagration propagation stage.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":775,"journal":{"name":"Shock Waves","volume":"32 7","pages":"617 - 632"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-11-04","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00193-022-01100-7.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4185102","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Energy localization or “hotspots” arise during shock interaction with the microstructural heterogeneities, leading to initiation of PBXs. In this paper, high-resolution numerical simulations are performed to elucidate the mechanistic details of shock-induced initiation in a PBX; we examine four different mechanisms: (1) shock-focusing at sharp corners or edges and its dependency on the shape of the crystal and the strength of the applied shock; (2) debonding between crystal and binder interfaces; (3) collapse of voids in the binder located near an HMX crystal; and (4) the collapse of voids within HMX crystals. Insights are obtained into the relative contributions of these mechanisms to the ignition and growth of hotspots. Understanding these mechanisms of energy localization and their relative importance for hotspot formation and initiation sensitivity of PBXs will aid in the design of energetic material-driven systems with controlled sensitivity, to prevent accidental initiation and ensure reliable performance.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":775,"journal":{"name":"Shock Waves","volume":"32 7","pages":"593 - 616"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://link.springer.com/content/pdf/10.1007/s00193-022-01099-x.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4359686","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The implosion-driven launcher (IDL) uses the linear implosion of a pressurized tube to shock-compress helium gas to a pressure of 5 GPa, which then expands to propel a projectile to hypervelocity. The launch cycle of the IDL is explored with the use of down-bore velocimetry experiments and a quasi-one-dimensional internal ballistics solver. A detailed overview of the design of the 8-mm launcher is presented, with an emphasis on the unique considerations which arise from the explosively driven propellant compression and the resulting extreme pressures and temperatures. The high average driving pressure results in a launcher that is compact, with a total length typically less than a meter. The possibility to scale the design to larger projectile sizes (25 mm diameter) is demonstrated. Finally, concepts for a modified launch cycle which may allow the IDL to reach significantly greater projectile velocities are explored conceptually and with preliminary experiments.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":775,"journal":{"name":"Shock Waves","volume":"32 7","pages":"569 - 591"},"PeriodicalIF":2.2,"publicationDate":"2022-10-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4142932","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Validated smooth cylinder flow simulations for a range of Mach and Reynolds numbers with slip and no-slip wall serve as a reference. Roughness is shown to increase the effective diameter of the cylinder and the drag by displacing the outer flow along the peaks of the roughness elements.
