Abstract
Shock-wave (SW) propagation in an aqueous foam layer is investigated using new published experimental data with visualization of the dynamics of the volumetric liquid content of the foam under SW impact. A mathematical model has been developed that describes the behavior of the foam as a non-Newtonian fluid taking into account the effective Herschel–Bulkley viscosity, interfacial heat transfer processes according to the Ranz–Marshall model, and realistic equations of state describing the thermodynamic properties of aqueous foam components. The model is numerically implemented in the solver that we developed using the OpenFOAM package. The influence of the behavior of the aqueous foam on the SW evolution is analyzed.
