The canonical interaction between a two-dimensional weak Gaussian disturbance (entropy spot, density spot, weak vortex) with an exothermic/endothermic planar shock wave is studied via the linear interaction approximation. To this end, a unified framework based on an extended Kovásznay decomposition that simultaneously accounts for non-acoustic density disturbances along with a poloidal–toroidal splitting of the vorticity mode and for heat release is proposed. An extended version of Chu’s definition for the energy of disturbances in compressible flows encompassing multi-component mixtures of gases is also proposed. This new definition precludes spurious non-normal phenomena when computing the total energy of extended Kovásznay modes. Detailed results are provided for three cases, along with fully general expressions for mixed solutions that combine incoming vortical, entropy and density disturbances.

We propose using charges generating explosively formed projectiles of variable shape to remotely demolish structurally unsound concrete or brick walls of buildings and other structures. The paper considers the charges required, their design and operation. The operation of such a charge involves the explosive material accelerating a metal liner, covering a distance of up to several hundred charge diameters. The metal liner deforms while moving and assumes a compact shape. We used variable thickness copper liners, the external and internal surfaces of which are formed by a combination of spherical surfaces. A planar shock wave generator featuring a variable detonation wave slope is considered as the initiation system for the charge. We present the results of numerically simulating our explosive charge operation in order to determine how charge parameters affect performance. We estimated charge performance via two projectile parameters: its shape and velocity. The study also evaluated the effect of the planar shock wave generator slope on the projectile shape. We obtained projectile velocity and aspect ratio as functions of the slope of the converging detonation wave. We determined that decreasing the slope of the converging detonation wave front leads to an increase in the aspect ratio and velocity of the explosively formed projectile.
