The Wikipedia defintion of a shock wave pretty much sums up all I've found online about what a shock wave is: A shock wave is a type of propagating disturbance. Like an ordinary wave, it …

Feb 1, 2021 · A comment that should have been an answer: Probably, the significant entropy change occurs right at the shock, which, in the author's approximation occurs at a plane, while …

Aug 6, 2024 · A shockwave is just a pressure wave. When it encounters the wall, part of the wave is reflected and part of it is refracted into the wall. The energy of the wave has to go …

Jul 7, 2021 · What is the relation between shockwave thickness and shockwave strength? I mean with increasing altitude and increase shockwave thickness, shock become stronger or weaker?

As per my answer here. The air on the inside of the explosion is also moving "faster then the speed of sound" so relative to that air, the shock wave is traveling at subsonic speeds. Thus …

Jan 7, 2022 · Simply stated, Newton’s third law says for every force there is an equal and opposite force. From this we can say that, in the case of an exploding part, each fragment of …

Feb 23, 2018 · The shockwave heats air as it passes, but it is not as hot as the fireball. It is at least 50,000K, maybe 100,000K--so it's at least as radiant as a lightning bolt--but it is not …

Nov 27, 2024 · Yes, a Mach cone is a possible model of a shock front. However, its shape greatly depends on the shape of the piston/driver. For instance, if you have sphere, it would not be …

May 20, 2016 · I am seeking an explanation for this graph where the subscript "1" refers to the supersonic region and the subscript "2" refers to the subsonic region present beyond a normal …

Jan 18, 2021 · Looking for a 12ga shockwave. The closer you are to Durant or Ardmore area the better, thanks.
