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.

Free Download Optical Waves in Waveguides and Free Space: Multimode Propagation
English | 2024 | ISBN: 981979546X | 612 Pages | PDF EPUB (True) | 84 MB
This book provides a thorough review of multi-mode propagation inside optical waveguides and free space, which is receiving particular attention for its promising applications in communications and sensing. At the heart of the book is the matter of how modes couple and interfere due to engineered or random index fluctuations, forming functional devices.

Free Download MHD Structures, Waves and Turbulence in the Solar Wind: Observations and Theories By C.-Y. Tu, E. Marsch (auth.)
1995 | 210 Pages | ISBN: 9048145201 | PDF | 8 MB
This is the first book to give a comprehensive overview of recent observational and theoretical results on solar wind structures and fluctuations and magnetohydrodynamic waves and turbulence, preference being given to phenomena in the inner heliosphere. Emphasis is placed on the progress made in the past decade in the understanding of the nature and origin of especially small-scale, compressible and incompressible fluctuations. Turbulence models describing the spatial transport and spectral transfer of the fluctuations in the inner heliosphere are discussed. Intermittency of solar wind fluctuations and their statistical distributions are investigated. Studies of the heating and acceleration effects of the turbulence on the background wind are critically surveyed. Finally, open questions concerning the origin, nature and evolution of the fluctuations are listed, and perspectives for future research are outlined. The book is for graduate students and researchers in the field. Other target groups are scientists and professionals interested in space plasma physics and/or MHD turbulence.

Free Download Fundamentals of Acoustic Waves and Applications (Synthesis Lectures on Wave Phenomena in the Physical Sciences) by Sanichiro Yoshida
English | March 2, 2024 | ISBN: 3031481992 | 180 pages | MOBI | 26 Mb
This book discusses acoustic waves in five chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the general properties of waves. Chapter 2 presents the acoustic waves in fluid and solids, including the wave equations in the respective media. Chapter 3 discusses the propagation of audible acoustic waves in the air. The discussion includes analyses of speech and music we hear in the time and frequency domains. Chapter 4 discusses the propagation of acoustic waves in solids. Unlike in the air, sound waves take complicated forms in solids; they can be both in longitudinal and transverse modes, and mode conversions can occur upon reflection. Although these behaviors make the analysis difficult, we can apply them to engineering problems. Chapter 5 describes the transduction of acoustic signals. It presents acoustic transmitters and sensors along with their operation principles. Finally, Chapter 6 presents several techniques used in engineering. It is also useful to consider applying acoustic and optical techniques to engineering problems.

Free Download Bubble Dynamics and Shock Waves By Claus-Dieter Ohl, Siew-Wan Ohl (auth.), Can F. Delale (eds.)
2013 | 394 Pages | ISBN: 3642342965 | PDF | 39 MB
This volume of the Shock Wave Science and Technology Reference Library is concerned with the interplay between bubble dynamics and shock waves. It is divided into four parts containing twelve chapters written by eminent scientists. Topics discussed include shock wave emission by laser generated bubbles (W Lauterborn, A Vogel), pulsating bubbles near boundaries (DM Leppinen, QX Wang, JR Blake), interaction of shock waves with bubble clouds (CD Ohl, SW Ohl), shock propagation in polydispersed bubbly liquids by model equations (K Ando, T Colonius, CE Brennen. T Yano, T Kanagawa, M Watanabe, S Fujikawa) and by DNS (G Tryggvason, S Dabiri), shocks in cavitating flows (NA Adams, SJ Schmidt, CF Delale, GH Schnerr, S Pasinlioglu) together with applications involving encapsulated bubble dynamics in imaging (AA Doinikov, A Novell,JM Escoffre, A Bouakaz), shock wave lithotripsy (P Zhong), sterilization of ships’ ballast water (A Abe, H Mimura) and bubbly flow model of volcano eruptions ((VK Kedrinskii, K Takayama). The book offers a timely reference for graduate students as well as professional scientists and engineers interested in the interaction of shock waves with bubbles and their propagation properties in bubbly liquids with applications in medical and earth sciences.

Free Download Optical Precursors: From Classical Waves to Single Photons By JF Chen, Heejeong Jeong, MMT Loy, Shengwang Du (auth.)
2013 | 79 Pages | ISBN: 9814451932 | PDF | 5 MB
Ever since Einstein’s special relativity in 1905, the principle of invariant light speed in vacuum has been attracting attention from a wide range of disciplines. How to interpret the principle of light speed? Is light referred to continuous light, or light pulse with definite boundaries? Recent discovery of superluminal medium triggered vigorous discussion within the Physics community. Can communication via such "superluminal channel" break the speed limit and thus violate causality principle? Or, will a single photon, which is not governed by classical laws of Physics, tend to break the speed limit? To solve these problems, this Brief brings in Optical Precursors, the theoretical works for which started as early as 1914. This is a typical optical phenomenon combining wave propagation theory and light-wave interaction. Both theory and experimental works are covered in this Brief. The study of precursor verifies that the effective information carried by light pulses can never exceed the speed of light in vacuum- c. Further, through observation from nonclassical single photon source, the precursor rules out the probability of a single photon traveling with the speed, breaking the classical limit.
