Free Download Shock Waves @ Marseille IV: Shock Structure and Kinematics, Blast Waves and Detonations By L. F. Henderson (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 505 Pages | ISBN: 364279534X | PDF | 23 MB
This volume is devoted to the problems directly connected to the propagation of shock waves, blast waves and detonations and their interaction with various ctructures, gaseous, liquid or solid. Shock focusing is the first subject whereas regular or Mach reflection processes, shock wave refraction and diffraction on diverse configurations such as wedge, cone, or corner, represent central themes for many following papers. The well-known problem of shock-interface interaction still constitutes an attractive subject and a number of papers are devoted to shock-jet, shock-vortex, and shock-layer interactions. Explosions and blast waves studies are well represented, and detonation phenomena in gaseous, solid or multiphasic media are largely treated. The kinetic structure of shock itself is also analyzed.Scientists working in the fields of shock-structure interaction will be interested by the number and level of corresponding papers, and engineers may be attracted by the multiple applied aspects of shock, blast and detonation propagation.

Free Download Shock Waves @ Marseille III: Shock Waves in Condensed Matter and Heterogeneous Media By M. E. H. van Dongen (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 3642788378 | PDF | 14 MB
This volume gathers papers treating effects of shock waves propagating in complex media, such as polyphasic and porous media, and in condensed matter: thus, two-phase flows with shock waves include dust and droplet gas suspensions, steam, bubbly liquids without or with evaporation or condensation. The second volume also includes papers devoted to industrial and environmental applications involving shock waves, and thus miscellaneous applied topics such as lasers, high-speed trains, car exhausts, and guns are concerned, as well as for environmental problems, volcanic eruptions, meteorite impacts, and orbital debris. Finally, biological aspects of shock waves are presented such as the effects on biliary and renal stones, cancerous tissues, and the pulmonary system.This volume addresses scientists working in the treated topics, such as multiphasic and porous media, and various categories of engineers or technicians, especially from both environmental and space technology, and medical personnel interested in biological effects and medical applications of shock waves.

Free Download Shock Waves @ Marseille II: Physico-Chemical Processes and Nonequilibrium Flow By John H. Kiefer (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 467 Pages | ISBN: 3642788343 | PDF | 18 MB
This volume deals with chemical kinetics of high-temperature shocked flows. The first papers describe the kinetics of many processes in gases and gas mixtures behind shock waves in shock tubes, including decomposition, oxidation, dissociation and various reactions, with the general purpose of measuring corresponding rate constants by various diagnostic techniques. Other papers treat problems of induced combustion behind shock paves propagating in combustible media. Theoretical and experimental studies on nonequilibrium flows in external and internal aerodynamics, including vibrational relaxation, dissociation and reaction kinetics and radiation effects, and the analysis of ionization phenomena induced by shock waves and of the behavior of shock waves in ionized media such as plasma jets, discharges or magnetic fields are represented.This volume is for chemists and chemical engineers working in reaction kinetics and combustion fields, plasma physicists, astrophysicists and also aerodynamicists simulating or computing relaxing reactive flows.

Free Download Shock Waves @ Marseille I: Hypersonics, Shock Tube & Shock Tunnel Flow By John L. Stollery (auth.), Professor Dr. Raymond Brun, Professor Dr. Lucien Z. Dumitrescu (eds.)
1995 | 485 Pages | ISBN: 3642788319 | PDF | 15 MB
The book is devoted to hypersonics, including experimental work in shock tunnel flows with emphasis on the influence of "real gas" effects on aerodynamic phenomena encountered in hypersonics and aerospace studies. Numerical methods used for the determination of hypersonic flowfields, including chemical effects, are presented and applied to steady and unsteady configurations. The book also contains recent progress in shock tube and shock tube tunnel technology, including free piston shock tunnels, diaphragmless shock tubes, various processes for improving shock tube performances and numerous diagnostic techniques used in millisecond facilities such as force, moment measurements and optical methods. Papers on mixing problems in supersonic combustion and applications to ram accelerators are also in this volume. This volume is addressed to scientists working on "hot" hypersonics, aerospace engineers, shock tube designers, researchers using shock tubes and associated equipment, and CFD people trying to simulate complex reactive flowfields.

Marseille, France’s sunny second city, is a beguiling place. A major Mediterranean port, it beckons to urban wanderers and anyone enthralled by cities in all their multiplicity. Marseille’s ancient streets tell stories of fires, plagues, wars, decay, and regrowth. Waves of people of diverse ethnic and religious backgrounds have made their way there, and many have found homes for themselves. Although the city hosts visitors from around the world, France’s social and political fault lines are on full display. For all its charm, Marseille struggles to overcome its reputation for corruption and crime.
