Shock dynamics
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Shock Dynamics referred to two different phenomena. The first phenomenon is of shocks that interact with other shock or solid (different materials densities), the second phenomenon of moving shock. The confusion arises from similarity between these two and the literature there reference to these as the same. These two phenomena have significance in calculating the resistance of flow or to the flow.
The interactions of shock with solid body is significant in the calculation of Detonation and explosives. This area receive considerable amount of attention after World War Two where various explosives like the atom bomb create a shock that acting on solid body like tank other objects.
