Abstract
Shock waves in water have many applications, such as lithotripsy, sterilization, weapons, and so on. Underwater electrical wire explosion can be utilized to produce shock waves with fast front and short duration time efficiently. In order to amplify the energy of shock waves, energetic materials (EMs) were considered. In this paper, Al, Cu, Mo, and W wires with EM covers were designed and tested. The results showed that wire explosion ignited the EMs, which in turn affected the process of wire explosion. As a result, the duration time of shock waves was elongated.
