Quasi-isentropic compression using compressed water flow generated by underwater electrical explosion of a wire array

Extreme water state produced by underwater wire-array electrical explosion

The generation of an extreme water state 130 GPa, 5000 K, and 3.4 g /cm3 which is characterized as dense plasma at the axis of a converging shock wave is reported. A 4 kJ pulse generator was used to explode a 40 Cu-wire array, generating a cylindrical shock wave. The measured shock wave trajectory and energy deposited into the water flow were used in hydrodynamic simulations coupled with the eq...

Magnetohydrodynamics of Metallic Foil Electrical Explosion and Magnetically Driven Quasi-Isentropic Compression

A Second Order Accurate Method in Simulation of Underwater Explosion

In this paper, a numerical scheme is proposed for the multi-fluid compressible flows. This method is applied to the problem of underwater explosion. The proposed scheme is basically the extension of Godunov method in gas dynamic problems to the multifluid environments and is second-order accurate in space. In this method, also, the problem of artificial mixing of two different phases on Euleria...

Signal Analysis and Waveform Reconstruction of Shock Waves Generated by Underwater Electrical Wire Explosions with Piezoelectric Pressure Probes

Underwater shock waves (SWs) generated by underwater electrical wire explosions (UEWEs) have been widely studied and applied. Precise measurement of this kind of SWs is important, but very difficult to accomplish due to their high peak pressure, steep rising edge and very short pulse width (on the order of tens of μs). This paper aims to analyze the signals obtained by two kinds of commercial p...
