Experimental characterisation of light emission during shock-driven cavity collapse

Abstract:

The authors describe experimental work examining the collapse of a cavity by a strong shockwave. A millimetre size cavity is cast in Phytagel, which is then impacted by a metallic projectile accelerated by a compressed gas gun, reaching velocities up to 500 m/s. The impact generates a strong shockwave that propagates into the gel at greater than sonic velocity. Schlieren images are presented that illustrate both this process and the subsequent cavity collapse at a sub-microsecond timescale. A...
