Aquarium Shot Image Analysis

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/2375833· OSTI ID:2375833
Quantitative analysis of fast-frame imagery of explosive aquarium shots can extract an abundance of information regarding the evolution of both the shock and the product gases following the passage of a detonation front. Analysis of the product gases (or any other surface of interest that lies within the shock and is observed from outside of the shock) is complicated by the fact that the water shock refracts the light in all three dimensions. This makes it necessary to correct for this refraction in order to get an accurate perception of the location of the surface and subsequently the velocities derived from the shape of that surface.
