A shock wave from Africa
William John Macquorn Rankine and Pierre Henri Hugoniot independently developed the theory for flow properties before and after a shock wave.
Thus, when the fluid finally does strike the object, it is forced to change its properties -- temperature, density, pressure, and Mach number -- in an extremely violent and irreversible fashion called a shock wave.
Hypersonic flow is characterized by high temperature flow behind a shock wave, viscous interaction, and chemical dissociation of gas.
In physical terms, a supersonic shock wave initiates from the point of contact.
As this shock wave expands, it decelerates and compresses the impactor, and it accelerates and compresses the target.
Stress levels within the shock wave far exceed the strength of solid materials ; consequently, both the impactor and the target close to the impact site are irreversibly damaged.
Many other shock-related changes take place within both impactor and target as the shock wave passes through, and some of these changes can be used as diagnostic tools to determine whether particular geological features were produced by impact cratering.
As the shock wave decays, the shocked region decompresses towards more usual pressures and densities.
The damage produced by the shock wave raises the temperature of the material.
As well as being heated, the target near the impact is accelerated by the shock wave, and it continues moving away from the impact behind the decaying shock wave.
Contact, compression, decompression, and the passage of the shock wave all occur within a few tenths of a second for a large impact.
This term is used to describe an explosive phenomenon whereby the decomposition is propagated by an explosive shock wave traversing the explosive material.
Laser-and arc-heating are used in laser detonators, exploding-bridgewire detonators, and exploding foil initiators, where a shock wave and then detonation in conventional chemical explosive material is created by laser-or electric-arc heating.
The decomposition is propagated by a flame front ( deflagration ) which travels much more slowly through the explosive material than a shock wave of a high explosive.
Blast doors are designed to absorb the shock wave of a nuclear blast, bending and then returning to their original shape.
The shock wave from the explosion was recorded on barographs around the globe.
