Abstract

Results of quantitative holographic interferometric flow visualization of cylindrical interface instability induced by converging cylindrical shock waves are reported. Experiments were conducted in an annular vertical co-axial diaphragmless shock tube, in which cylindrical soap bubbles filled with He, Ne, Air, Ar, Kr, Xe and SF_6 were co-axially placed in its test section. Pressure histories at different radii during the shock wave implosion and reflection from the center were measured. Diagnostic method base on double exposure holographic interferometry was applied for the measurement of turbulent mixing zone at the interface. The observed cylindrical interfaces were found to have a higher growth rate of turbulent mixing zone than that of the plane shock / plane interface.
