Shock-wave configuration in air gap on oblique collision of metal plates

摘要: With the aid of a 4-frame photorecorder operating with SNEF-4 electron-optical converters, shock waves in air gap between colliding plates were photographed. We have demonstrated that movement plate within an oblique wave is generated, and interaction this lower occurs form simple Mach reflection. The arm moves faster than detonation velocity explosive by factor 1.3.
