Pressure evolution in shock-compacted granular media

The pressure evolution associated with the transient shock-induced infiltration of gas flow through granular media consisting of mobile particles is numerically investigated using a coupled Eulerian–Lagrangian approach.The coupling between shock compaction and interstitial flow has been revealed.A distinctive two-stage diffusing pressure field with deflection occurring at the tail of the compaction front is found,with corresponding spikes in both gaseous velocity and temperature profiles emerging within the width of the compaction front.The compaction front,together with the deflection pressure,reaches a steady state during the later period.An analytical prediction of the steady deflection pressure that considers the contributions of porosity and the non-isothermal effect is proposed.The isothermal single-phase method we developed,combining the porosity jump condition across the compaction front,shows consistent pressure evolution with the non-isothermal CMP-PIC one under weak shock strength and low column permeability.Lastly,the microscale mechanism governing the formation of not only pressure deflection but also gaseous velocity and temperature spikes within the width of the compaction front has been described.These aforementioned evolutions of the flow field are shown to arise from the nozzling effects associated with the particle-scale variations in the volume fraction.

Ultrasound based estimate of central venous pressure:Are we any closer?

Central venous pressure(CVP)serves as a direct approximation of right atrial pressure and is influenced by factors like total blood volume,venous compliance,cardiac output,and orthostasis.Normal CVP falls within 8-12 mmHg but varies with volume status and venous compliance.Monitoring and managing disturbances in CVP are vital in patients with circulatory shock or fluid disturbances.Elevated CVP can lead to fluid accumulation in the interstitial space,impairing venous return and reducing cardiac preload.While pulmonary artery catheterization and central venous catheter obtained measurements are considered to be more accurate,they carry risk of complications and their usage has not shown clinical improvement.Ultrasound-based assessment of the internal jugular vein(IJV)offers real-time,non-invasive measurement of static and dynamic parameters for estimating CVP.IJV parameters,including diameter and ratio,has demonstrated good correlation with CVP.Despite significant advancements in non-invasive CVP measurement,a reliable tool is yet to be found.Present methods can offer reasonable guidance in assessing CVP,provided their limitations are acknowledged.

Dynamic compensation and its application of shock wave pressure sensor

In order to correct the test error caused by the dynamic characteristics of pressure sensor and avoid the influence of the error of sensor＇s dynamic model on compensation results,a dynamic compensation method of the pressure sensor is presented,which is based on quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization（QPSO）algorithm and the mean square error（MSE）.By using this method,the inverse model of the sensor is built and optimized and then the coefficients of the optimal compensator are got.This method is verified by the dynamic calibration with shock tube and the dynamic characteristics of the sensor before and after compensation are analyzed in time domain and frequency domain.The results show that the working bandwidth of the sensor is extended effectively.This method can reduce dynamic measuring error and improve test accuracy in actual measurement experiments.

Influence of air pressure on mechanical effect of laser plasma shock wave

The influence of air pressure on mechanical effect of laser plasma shock wave in a vacuum chamber produced by a Nd：YAG laser has been studied. The laser pulses with pulse width of 10ns and pulse energy of about 320mJ at 1.06μm wavelength is focused on the aluminium target mounted on a ballistic pendulum, and the air pressure in the chamber changes from 2.8 × 10^ 3 to 1.01 × 10^5pa. The experimental results show that the impulse coupling coefficient changes as the air pressure and the distance of the target from focus change. The mechanical effects of the plasma shock wave on the target are analysed at different distances from focus and the air pressure.

Investigation on the Determination of Initial Shock Pressure at Near Interface Field of TNT Charge and Water for Underwater Explosion

There are few report on the directly measurement of the initial shock pressure of explosive charge at its interface of water for underwater explosion. The special technologies have been taken to the measurement system with manganin piezoresistive gauge （PRG） in order to measure the initial shock pressure at the interface and its near field of TNT chare and water. The free-holding PRG film gauge can directly determine the shock peak pressure at the interface and near field of TNT charge up to 12.85 GPa, which is satisfying for the good agreement to the 12.97 GPa with one dimensional theoretical analysis and 12.86 GPa with numerical simulation. The maximum discrepancy is 0.93 %. The results show that it is precise and reliable to determine the initial shock pressure of underwater explosion charge with the PRG technology.

Polyploidy induction by hydrostatic pressure shock and embryo development of sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus

The manipulation of the chromosome set for commercially valuable marine animals is important for enhancing aquacultural production. In this study, triploid and tetraploid sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus were induced by hydrostatic pressure shock, and the conditions of appropriate induction were tested with different starting times, and hydrostatic pressure intensities and durations. The highest rate of triploid induction reached 20% and that of tetraploid was 60%. In consideration of the survival rate and hatch rate, the appropriate treatment for triploid was 55 Mpa of hydrostatic pressure for 5 rain at 55 min after fertilization （a.f.）, while for tetraploid it was 60 Mpa for 5 rain at 61 min a.f. The triploid of the sea cucumber could survive through the pelagic larval stage and attachment stage, and develop like the control group of the experiment. The tetraploid, however, could not survive the attachment stage.

Effect of Higher Mean Arterial Pressure with Norepinephrine on Tissue Oxygenation and Perfusion in Patients of Septic Shock

The current survival sepsis guideline proposes the use of vasopressors and fluid resuscitation to maintain the mean arterial pressure (MAP) ≥ 65 mmHg. Titrating catecholamine infusion to achieve higher MAP has been demonstrated to improve tissue oxygenation, microcirculation, renal function and overall outcome of the patient in some studies and literature on actual hemodynamic goals is scarce. AIM: To study the influence of two MAP on tissue oxygenation and perfusion parameters in patients of septic shock on norepinephrine infusion. SUBJECT AND MATERIALS: Forty adult patients with the diagnosis of septic shock were enrolled. In all patients norepinephrine was titrated to first stabilize the MAP at 65 ± 5 mmHg (Set I), followed by MAP of 85 ± 5 mmHg (Set II). Heart rate (HR), Central venous oxygen saturation (SCVO2), Transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen (PtcO2) by TCM 400/TINA (using miniature Clark electrode), Arterial partial pressure of oxygen(PaO2), PtO2/PaO2 ratio, Urine output and Serum Base deficit were recorded in each Set after 2 hrs of stabilization. RESULTS: There was a significant increase in transcutaneous partial pressure of oxygen PtcO2 (p tO2/PaO2 (p < 0.0001), ScvO2 (p < 0.0001), urine output (p < 0.006) on increasing the MAP from 65mmHg to 85mmHg. Serum base deficit also improved (p < 0.0001). CONCLUSION: Higher MAP with norepinephrine is associated with better perfusion, oxygenation parameters in patients with established septic shock. These findings suggest that there is improvement in tissue oxygenation parameters using escalating doses of norepinephrine to achieve higher MAP without inherent adverse

Correlation of Inferior Vena Cava Respiratory Variability Index with Central Venous Pressure and Hemodynamic Parameters in Ventilated Pigs with Septic Shock

Septic shock is a common critical condition, for which effective early fluid resuscitation is the therapeutic focus. According to the 2008 international guidelines for management of severe sepsis and septic shock, resuscitation should achieve a central venous pressure （CVP） of 8-12 mmHg within the first 6 h. However, it is still uncertain about the sensitivity and specificity of CVP in reflecting the cardiac preload. Ultrasonography is a simple, rapid, non-invasive, and repeatable method for the measurement of sensitivity and specificity of CVP and has thus gradually attracted the increasing attention of physicians. It was reported that ultrasonography can show the inferior vena cava diameter, respiratory variability index, and blood volume in patients with sepsis or heart failure.

Research on the distribution characteristics of explosive shock waves at different altitudes

There are great differences in the distribution characteristics of shock waves produced by ammunition explosions at different altitudes.At present,there are many studies on plain explosion shock waves,but there are few studies on the distribution characteristics of plateau explosion shock waves,and there is still a lack of complete analysis and evaluation methods.This paper compares and analyzes shock wave overpressure data at different altitudes,obtains the attenuation effect of different altitudes on the shock wave propagation process and proposes a calculation formula for shock wave overpressure considering the effect of altitude.The data analysis results show that at the same TNT equivalent and the same distance from the measuring point,the shock wave overpressure at high altitude is lower than that at low altitude.With the increase in the explosion center distance of the measuring point,the peak attenuation rate of the shock wave overpressure at high altitudes is smaller than that at low altitudes,and the peak attenuation rate of the shock wave overpressure at high altitudes gradually intensifies with increasing proportional distance.The average error between the shock wave overpressure and measured shock wave overpressure in a high-altitude environment obtained by using the above calculation formula is 11.1389%.Therefore,this method can effectively predict explosion shock wave overpressure in plateau environments and provides an effective calculation method for practical engineering tests.

Investigation of Supersonic Shock Wave Loading on Thin Metallic Sheets

Shock tube experiments were carried out to investigate dynamic behavior of Ultra-high hardness(UHH)steel and Aluminium(Al) sheets of 0.8 mm thickness at 0.55, 0.9 and 1.18 MPa peak-over pressure.Experimental results showed that center point deflection increases with an increase in peak-over pressure for Al sheets. However, UHH steel sheets showed negligible deformation when loaded at low peak-over pressures and showed sudden brittle failure at high peak-over pressures. Similar results were obtained by quasi-static testing, UHH steel failed abruptly while Al showed ductile behavior. Results from literature indicate that to protect structures against shock loading it is necessary that they dissipate energy via plastic deformation. The Al sheets were shown to deform plastically both in quasi-static and shock loading. Thus, hardness along with ductility is required to dissipate supersonic shock waves.

Study on the Propagation Law of Shock Wave Pressure in Tunnels with Different Materials

The propagation of shock wave pressure in the tunnel is greatly affected by the tunnel structure,shape,material and other factors,and there are great differences in the propagation law of shock wave pressure in different kinds of tunnels.In order to study the propagation law of shock wave pressure in tunnels with different materials,taking the long straight tunnel with the square section as an example,the AUTODYN software is used to simulate the explosion of TNT in the concrete,steel and granite tunnel,and study on the variation law of shock wave pressure in tunnels with different materials.By using dimensional analysis and combined with the results of numerical simulation,a mathematical model of the propagation law of shock wave pressure in the tunnel is established,and the effectiveness of the mathematical model is verified by making the explosion test of the warhead in the reinforce concrete tunnel.The results show that the same mass of TNT explodes in the tunnel with different materials,and the shock wave overpressure peak at the same measuring point is approximate in the near field.However,there is a significant difference in the middle-far fields from the explosion center,the shock wave overpressure peak in the steel tunnel is 20.76%and 34.82%higher than that of the concrete and the granite tunnel respectively,and the shock wave overpressure peak in the concrete tunnel is 24.91%higher than that in the granite tunnel.Through the experimental verification,getting the result that the maximum relative deviation between the measured value and the calculated value of the shock wave overpressure peak is 11.85%.Therefore,it is proved that the mathematical model can be used to predict the shock wave overpressure peak in the tunnel with different materials,and it can provide some reference for the power evaluation of warhead explosion in the tunnel.

A new Ignition-Growth reaction rate model for shock initiation

Accurately predicting reactive flow is a challenge when characterizing an explosive under external shock stimuli as the shock initiation time is on the order of a microsecond.The present study constructs a new Ignition-Growth reaction rate model,which can describe the shock initiation processes of explosives with different initial densities,particle sizes and loading pressures by only one set of model parameters.Compared with the Lee-Tarver reaction rate model,the new Ignition-Growth reaction rate model describes better the shock initiation process of explosives and requires fewer model parameters.Moreover,the shock initiation of a 2,4-Dinitroanisole(DNAN)-based melt-cast explosive RDA-2(DNAN/HMX(octahydro-1,3,5,7-tetranitro-1,3,5,7-tetrazoncine)/aluminum)are investigated both experimentally and numerically.A series of shock initiation experiments is performed with manganin piezoresistive pressure gauges and corresponding numerical simulations are carried out with the new Ignition-Growth reaction rate model.The RDA-2 explosive is found to have higher critical initiation pressure and lower shock sensitivity than traditional explosives(such as the Comp.B explosive).The calibrated reaction rate model parameters of RDA-2 could provide numerical basis for its further application.

大型激波管产生的长持时冲击波的特性研究

为得到长持时冲击波,在大型激波管高压段2个位置预设TNT和预充高压气体,进行了压力测试,并得到了测点处的压力时程曲线;又采用ANSYS/LS-DYNA软件对上述工况进行了数值仿真和参数校正;然后,对不同工况产生的冲击波特性进行仿真研究;最后,明确了不同装药位置、装药量、预充高压气体压力和泄压口长度对冲击波特性的影响。结果表明:当采用2处TNT装药,装药量和泄压口长度不变时,峰值超压和超压时长随着预充高压气体压力的增大而增大,峰值到达时间不一定降低;当预充高压气体压力和泄压口长度一定,2处TNT装药量增幅不大时,峰值超压和峰值到达时间会降低,但超压时间增加;同时增加TNT装药量和预充高压气体压力,会提高峰值超压,但对超压时长的影响不明显;当TNT装药位置为1个,装药量和泄压口长度一定时,预充高压气体压力增大会增加超压时长和峰值压力,与2处装药位置时规律一致,但冲击波的峰值到达时间降低;当其余条件不变时,减小泄压口长度会增加峰值超压压力,但是峰值到达时间却呈先减小、后增大的趋势。

特定热层温度下入射角对前驱波特性的影响

空中强爆炸会释放热辐射使地表形成热层,冲击波进入热层后传播速度加快,形成前驱波。冲击波入射角是影响前驱波特性的重要因素,但目前相关工作大多依赖理论推导,实验研究较少。利用爆炸波模拟激波管平台,开展了热层温度为300℃时入射角对前驱波形成影响的研究实验,结合实验构型建立了数值仿真模型,并将实验、数值仿真结果与已有理论结果进行了对比。结果表明:实验获得的前驱波形成临界角范围与理论计算结果一致;入射角越大,前驱波超过马赫杆的距离越大,到时提前越多;前驱波会导致超压峰值减小,且随着入射角的增大,超压峰值减小程度先增大后减小;整体上看,前驱波动压峰值随入射角的增大而增大,当入射角达到一定阈值后,动压峰值增大程度开始在一定范围内波动,这是由气流密度和粒子速度的峰值到时不同所导致的;动压冲量的增大程度随入射角的增大逐渐增大。

为了探索水中爆炸初始冲击波近场的传播特性和衰减差异,扩展水箱法测爆压试验的研究范围,采用高速摄影狭缝扫描测试方法,对3种典型的柱状炸药(TNT、JH-14、JO-9159)水中爆炸过程进行了测试研究,测量获得了一维正平面水中初始冲击波传播的时间历程演化曲线;由此拟合计算出柱状炸药的水中初始冲击波传播速度随时间的变化曲线,进一步由水的冲击雨果尼奥方程和冲击波动量方程、界面上压力和质点速度连续的条件及声学近似理论,计算得到了水中爆炸初始冲击波阵面压力的衰减曲线和炸药试样的爆压、多方指数等爆轰参数。结果表明,水中爆炸初始冲击波阵面压力近似以指数形式衰减,初始阶段衰减极快;当炸药爆压为20~37 GPa时,水中冲击波初始速度处于5.66~6.81 km/s的范围,波阵面初始压力与炸药的爆压近似成线性关系;虽然JO-9159的爆速和爆压均高于JH-14和TNT,但其水中初始冲击波传播仅在7μs后,其冲击波速度与波阵面压力下降至最低,说明以HMX为基的理想炸药水中爆炸初始冲击波速度和波阵面压力的衰减率要高于以RDX为基的理想炸药和TNT,高爆速、高爆压类理想炸药在水中初始冲击波性能方面优势不显著。

近边界条件下水下爆炸冲击波信号特征研究

水下爆炸试验过程中,实测冲击波压力信号很容易产生畸变,对试验结果评估造成困难。通过梳理过往实测试验数据发现,不同介质声学阻抗差异是影响近边界条件下冲击波传播的关键因素。在水面附近由于空气的声学阻抗小于水介质,冲击波曲线会突然下降,产生明显的水面截断效应;钢结构表面受压力波叠加影响,压力曲线会不同程度的提高;水底附近由于底质的复杂性,其声学阻抗差异较大,实测压力场会受入射波、反射波、前驱波、波后扰动等因素的影响,波形曲线呈现更加复杂的特性。
