Direct visualization of laser-driven focusing shock waves.
Direct real-time visualization and measurement of laser-driven shock generation, propagation, and 2D focusing in a sample are demonstrated. A substantial increase of the pressure at the convergence of the cylindrical acoustic shock front is observed experimentally and simulated numerically. Single-shot acquisitions using a streak camera reveal that at the convergence of the shock wave in water ...
متن کاملStudies of Laser-driven Radiative Blast Waves
We have performed two sets of experiments looking at laser-driven radiating blast waves. In the first set of experiments the effect of a drive laser’s passage through a background gas on the hydrodynamical evolution of blast waves was examined. The laser’s passage heated a channel in the gas, creating a region where a portion of the blast wave front had an increased velocity, leading to the for...
متن کاملObservations of Modulated Shock Waves in Solid Targets Driven by Spatially Modulated Laser Beams
68 LLE Review, Volume 90 Introduction Shock waves produced by laser-driven ablation are an important part of studies of inertial confinement fusion (ICF),1,2 the equation of state of materials (EOS),3–5 laboratory astrophysics,6,7 and other high-energy-density sciences. In ICF, nonuniformities in the drive laser can produce nonuniform shocks that create mass perturbations in the target.2 These ...
متن کاملInterferometric analysis of laser-driven cylindrically focusing shock waves in a thin liquid layer
Shock waves in condensed matter are of great importance for many areas of science and technology ranging from inertially confined fusion to planetary science and medicine. In laboratory studies of shock waves, there is a need in developing diagnostic techniques capable of measuring parameters of materials under shock with high spatial resolution. Here, time-resolved interferometric imaging is u...
متن کاملGeneralized hydrodynamic theory of shock waves: Mach-number dependence of inverse shock width for nitrogen gas.
A generalized hydrodynamic theory of shock wave structures is presented for rigid diatomic gases. The theory yields shock solutions for all Mach numbers. The accuracy of the theory is examined for nitrogen gas as an example. Excellent agreement with experiment is obtained for the inverse shock widths for the entire range of Mach number studied by experiment. The comparison made shows that we ar...
