Shock wave absorption in liquid foams
Seminar Room 1, Newton Institute
AbstractLiquid foams are, amongst other usage, used to mitigate shock waves during mine-cleaning operations due to their excellent ability to absorb energy. However, the origins of this important property are still not well understood. We use a shock tube to send a shock wave on a foam sample with controlled liquid fraction and bubble size. We record images with a high speed camera and pressure signals through the sample, giving information about the wave propagation and attenuation, the foam displacement and the destroyed area.
If it doesn't, something may have gone wrong with our embedded player.
We'll get it fixed as soon as possible.
