Hydrodynamics of laser-produced shock waves in water : reflection and transmission measurements

Using different optical diagnostic methods, namely interferometric holography and shadowgraphy, and utilizing a piezoelectric transducer for precise velocity determination, the laws of reflection and transmission of laser-driven shock waves through an obstacle in water are studied. Experimental resu...

Description
Summary:Using different optical diagnostic methods, namely interferometric holography and shadowgraphy, and utilizing a piezoelectric transducer for precise velocity determination, the laws of reflection and transmission of laser-driven shock waves through an obstacle in water are studied. Experimental results on the velocity of transmitted and reflected shock waves from different materials are reported.
