The spherical explosion propagation process in aqueous foam with the initial water volume content α10=0.0083 corresponding to the experimental conditions is analyzed numerically. The solution method is based on the one-dimensional two-temperature spherically symmetric model for two-phase gas-liquid mixture. The numerical simulation is built by the shock capturing method and movable Lagrangian grids. The amplitude and the width of the initial pressure pulse are found from the amount of experimental explosive energy. The numerical modeling results are compared to the real experiment. It’s shown, that the foam compression in the shock wave leads to the significant decrease in velocity and in amplitude of the shock wave.

The application of laser ignition in the aerospace field has promising prospects. Based on the constant volume combustion chamber, the laser ignition of CH4/O2/N2 mixture with different initial pressure, different laser energy, different equivalence ratio and different oxygen content has been carried out. The development characteristics of the flame kernel and shock wave under different conditions are analyzed. In addition, the Taylor model and Jones model are also used to simulate the development process of the shock wave, and a new modified model is proposed based on the Jones model. The experimental results show that under pure oxygen conditions, the chemical reaction rate of the mixture is too fast, which makes it difficult for the flame kernel to form the ring and third-lobe structure. However, the ring structure is easier to form with the pressure and laser energy degraded; the flame kernel morphology is easier to maintain at a rich equivalence ratio, which is caused by the influence of the movement of hot air flow and a clearer boundary between the ring and the third-lobe. The decrease of the initial pressure or the increase of the laser energy leads to the increase in shock wave velocity, while the change of the equivalence ratio and oxygen content has less influence on the shock wave.

An explosive configuration was studied so that the underwater shock wave converges at the tip of the explosive, and a three-dimensional spiral configuration was obtained. This spiral configuration need to be analyzed theoretically due to the relation of propagation velocity of underwater shock wave, detonation velocity of the explosive and a configuration of vessel to charge the explosive. In order to study an effect of the convergence, pressure measurement at the spiral center was carried out by using a manganin gauge. Therefore, when SEP was used in this experiment, the maximum pressure value was 17.7 GPa. This maximum pressure value is higher than the pressure value of underwater shock wave generated from the underwater explosion of a straight configuration. Furthermore, this maximum pressure value was higher than C-J pressure of SEP. An initial pressure of underwater shock water shock wave that can obtain from an isentropic expansion curve of SEP and a characteristic curve of water is 5.7 GPa, and C-J pressure of SEP is 15.9 GPa. From the above-mentioned, the effect of spiral convergence could be shown well.

Explosive forming is one of the unconventional techniques, in which, most commonly, the water is used as the pressure transmission medium. The explosive is set at the top of the pressure vessel filled with water, and is detonated by an electric detonator. The underwater shock wave propagates through the water medium and impinges on the metal plate, which in turn, deforms. There is another pressure pulse acting on the metal plate as the secondary by product of the expansion of the gas generated by detonation of explosive. The secondary pressure pulse duration is longer and the peak pressure is lower than the primary shock pressure. However, the intensity of these pressure pulse is based also on the conditions of a pressure vessel. In order to understand the effects of the configuration of the pressure vessel on the deformation of a metal plate, numerical simulation was performed. This paper reports those results.
