The shock wave is impacted by what the meteor is made of, temperature, and pressure. [1] Because the meteors need to have a large size and mass, there is only a small percentage of meteors that can create these shock waves. [2] Radar and Infrasonic methodologies are able to detect meteor shock waves. These tools are used to study these shock ...
In fact, correct capturing and detection of shock waves are important since shock waves have the following influences: (1) causing loss of total pressure, which may be a concern related to scramjet engine performance, (2) providing lift for wave-rider configuration, as the oblique shock wave at lower surface of the vehicle can produce high ...
Shock waves produced by a T-38 Talon during flight using analog background-oriented schlieren. Background-oriented schlieren technique (BOS [7]) relies on measuring or visualizing shifts in focused images. In these techniques, the background and the schlieren object (the distortion to be visualized) are both in focus and the distortion is ...
The photoacoustic effect or optoacoustic effect is the formation of sound waves following light absorption in a material sample. In order to obtain this effect the light intensity must vary, either periodically (modulated light) or as a single flash (pulsed light).
A shock wave is undercompressive if the Lax conditions are not fulfilled. A sharp wave front may remain sharp whilst travelling even when perturbations behind the front travel slower than it. An experiment can be made to show this with travelling liquid steps : a thick film is spread on a thin one.
In some cases, it is possible to see flicker at rates beyond 2000 Hz (2 kHz) in the case of high-speed eye movements or object motion, via the "phantom array" effect. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] Fast-moving flickering objects zooming across view (either by object motion, or by eye motion such as rolling eyes), can cause a dotted or multicolored blur instead ...
In computational fluid dynamics, shock-capturing methods are a class of techniques for computing inviscid flows with shock waves.The computation of flow containing shock waves is an extremely difficult task because such flows result in sharp, discontinuous changes in flow variables such as pressure, temperature, density, and velocity across the shock.
Optography is the process of viewing or retrieving an optogram, an image on the retina of the eye. A belief that the eye "recorded" the last image seen before death was widespread in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and was a frequent plot device in fiction of the time, to the extent that police photographed the victims' eyes in several ...
