Study of the shock wave interaction with a liquid in a container

Abstract

All around the world, the modern civilization is trying to find ways to utilize energy. And the major source that many of the used worldy things is the fossil fuel. As the shock wave plays a high role in the energy part ,and produces a high force it can be used as an alternative energy sometimes if it’s utilized in a proper way. As we can see the world uses this shock wave nowadays in the weapons (like America used while bombing japan),particularly the heavy guns to cause destruction apart from the fire the shock wave is useful and hazardous. Hence, from this we can know the usefulness of the shock wave. In our project we studied experimentally on how this shock wave interacts with a liquid confined in a steel tube, and we experienced that the liquid level raises when the shock wave propagation reaches the tube. As the shock is increased the water raise increases until gets out of the tube to the atmosphere with ahigh energy, and our objective was achieved successfully.
