Shock Focusing Phenomena High Energy Density Phenomena and Dynamics of Converging Shocks /

One of the main reasons for continuing interest in shock focusing is its ability to concentrate energy in a small volume and produce extreme temperatures and pressures in fluids in a controlled laboratory environment. The phenomenon of shock wave focusing leading to extreme conditions in fluids duri...
