A Table-top Blast Driven Shock Tube
The prevalence of blast induced traumatic brain injury in conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan has motivated laboratory scale experiments on biomedical effects of blast waves and studies of blast wave transmission properties of various materials in hopes of improving armor design to mitigate these injuries. This paper describes the design and performance of a table-top shock tube that is more conv...
متن کاملA Parametric Approach to Shape Field-Relevant Blast Wave Profiles in Compressed-Gas-Driven Shock Tube
Detonation of a high-explosive produces shock-blast wave, shrapnel, and gaseous products. While direct exposure to blast is a concern near the epicenter, shock-blast can affect subjects, even at farther distances. When a pure shock-blast wave encounters the subject, in the absence of shrapnels, fall, or gaseous products the loading is termed as primary blast loading and is the subject of this p...
متن کاملA Shock Tube Driven Transonic Wind Tunnel
A small transonic wind tunnel was designed, constructed and calibrated in order to provide a tool for the study and demonstration of transonic flow phenomena. The wind tunnel makes use of flow properties following the propagation of a shock wave along a tube in order to create the transonic flow. This is in contrast to conventional transonic facilities which are supplied from a reservoir or com...
متن کاملPhysics of IED Blast Shock Tube Simulations for mTBI Research
Shock tube experiments and simulations are conducted with a spherical gelatin filled skull-brain surrogate, in order to study the mechanisms leading to blast induced mild traumatic brain injury. A shock tube including sensor system is optimized to simulate realistic improvised explosive device blast profiles obtained from full scale field tests. The response of the skull-brain surrogate is moni...
متن کاملA Numerical Investigation of a Shock-tube-driven Conductivity Channel
A code using the MacCormack scheme modified t o be TVD has been written t o analyze the flow in a magnetohydrodynamic conductivity channel driven by a reflected shock tube with a heated driver. Items considered include the thermodynamic and electrical properties of the potassium-seeded plasma, both with and without a current applied along the flow, and the steady-state test t ime in the channel...
