Image measurement of shock wave flow field at outlet of large diameter explosion shock tube
To capture schlieren images of explosion shock waves over a large field of view and analyze the flow field evolution after shock wave interaction with a model,a reflective high-speed schlieren measure-ment technique based on focused schlieren was developed.The system uses a laser source and high reflec-tive film for input.By simplifying the knife-edge grid design,the shock wave flow field evolution at the out-let of a long-distance,large-aperture explosion shock tube and its high-resolution interaction with a solid model are achieved.At a distance of over 80 m,shock wave characteristics were obtained from a large-cali-ber,high-yield explosion shock tube with a 6 m×3 m field of view,along with high temporal and spatial resolution images and state data regarding interactions with solids.The study shows that the designed fo-cused schlieren system is simpler,more feasible,and offers a longer test distance and wider field of view than traditional systems.By altering the light source input,the benefits of a laser source for long-distance imaging are explored.The interaction between the shock wave front and the solid model reveals the forma-tion,evolution,and flow state of the shock wave on the model.These measurements provide visual data to support the evaluation and response analysis of weapons and equipment subjected to shock waves.
