Shocked fluids at high densities and temperatures

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5889257
Applications for the properties of dense molecular fluids at high pressures and temperatures are described: the equation of state of reacted high explosives, modeling the interiors of the outer planets, and hydrodynamic uses. Experimental techniques are described for shock-wave equation-of-state, shock temperature, and electrical conductivity experiments for liquid specimens. Experimental data are reviewed and discussed in terms of the phenomena that occur at high densities and temperatures in shocked Ar, N/sub 2/, D/sub 2/, He, Xe, H/sub 2/O, and C/sub 6/H/sub 6/.
