Multiburst Study.
Abstract
An experimental program to study shock/fireball interactions is described. Preliminary experiments led to the hypothesis that it is the magnitude of shock-induced circulation within the fireball relative to self-generated circulation which governs the post-shock fireball motion. A scaling of sorts relating the full scale scenarios to the laboratory tests is discussed based upon this circulation argument. Experiments were performed using an open-ended shock tube as the shock generator and helium bubbles in a ten atmosphere air environment as the simulated fireballs. (Modified author abstract)
