Diffraction is a fundamental phenomenon that occurs when blast or shock waves pass over
sudden discontinuous surfaces. It generates a complex flow field consisting of diffracted …

This paper presents a numerical investigation into the effect of expansion chamber in
mitigating overpressures and impulses in protective tunnels subjected to detonation of high …

Developed is a high-order accurate shock-capturing scheme for the compressible
Euler/Navier–Stokes equations; the formal accuracy is 5th order in space and 4th order in …

The present study focuses on the shock diffraction problem over a triangle wedge for Mach
numbers of M= 1.3, 1.5, 1.7⁠, and 2.0 by using a two-dimensional, high-order, in-house …

Shock wave diffraction occurs when a normal travelling wave passes through a sudden area
expansion. Turbulent, compressible, and vortical are the characterising adjectives that …

We report on the effect of nanosecond surface sliding discharge glow redistribution near a
dielectric ledge and high-speed post-discharge flow dynamics. The discharge energy …

To study the influence of pits on shock wave propagation and the propagation of shock
waves within pits, numerical simulations were used to calculate the distribution of …

Shock diffraction is a widespread phenomenon in aerospace applications, such as shock
tunnel nozzle and jet exciter exit, impacting their performance significantly. This paper …

The interaction of high peak overpressure blast waves with a circular object placed at two
different axial locations from the shock tube exit is studied through numerical simulation …

When compressed gas is ejected from a nozzle into a low-pressure environment, the shock
wave diffracts around the nozzle lip and a vortex loop will form. The phenomenon has been …
