A Numerical and Experimental Study of a Shock-Accelerated Heavy Gas Cylinder
- State Univ. of New York (SUNY), Stony Brook, NY (United States)
In this thesis we study the evolution of an SF6 gas cylinder surrounded by air when accelerated by a planar Mach 1.2 shock wave. Vorticity generated by the interaction of the shock wave's pressure gradient with the density gradient at the air/SF6 interface drives the evolution of the cylinder into a vortex pair
