Book excerpt: For the Victorians, electricity was the science of spectacle and of wonder. It provided them with new ways of probing the nature of reality and understanding themselves. Luigi Galvani's discovery of 'animal electricity' at the end of the eighteenth century opened up a whole new world of possibilities, in which electricity could cure sickness, restore sexual potency and even raise the dead. In Shocking Bodies, Iwan Rhys Morus explores how the Victorians thought about electricity, and how they tried to use its intimate and corporeal force to answer fundamental questions about life and death. Some even believed that electricity was life, which brought into question the existence of the soul, and of God, and provided arguments in favour of political radicalism. This is the story of how electricity emerged as a powerful new tool for making sense of our bodies and the world around us.

This book was released on 1960 with total page 24 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The theory developed by G.B. Whitham (Communications on Pure and Applied Mathematics, August 1952) for the supersonic flow about bodies in uniform flight in a homogeneous medium is reviewed and an integral which expresses the effect of body shape upon the flow parameters in the far field is reduced to a form which may be readily evaluated for arbitrary body shapes. This expression is then used to investigate the effect of nose angle, fineness ratio, and location of maximum body cross section upon the far-field pressure jump across the bow shock of slender bodies. Curves are presented showing the variation of the shock strength with each of these parameters. It is found that, for a wide variety of shapes having equal fineness ratios, the integral has nearly a constant value. Hence, to a first order, the pressure jump in the far field is independent of the shape and depends only upon the fineness ratio.

This book was released on 1971 with total page 148 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Transient pressures, induced by wind-tunnel simulated head-on blast wave interactions, have been measured on a hemisphere and on cones of 9-, 15- and 30-degree semivertex angles. Blast wave Mach numbers of 1.6 to 2.2, 2.2 to 5.85 and 2.7 to 4.4 were simulated at the free-stream Mach numbers of 3.1, 5.1 and 7, respectively. Measured pressure-time histories for the hemisphere were compared and found in agreement with histories predicted by McNamara's FLAME code. Peak overpressures for the cones were tested for agreement with values predicted by a simple theoretical method in which an assumption is made that the blast wave forms a Mach stem moving along the surface at a velocity whose axial component equals the velocity of the main blast wave. The effects of angle of attack and of nose blunting were also investigated with the nine-degree cone at a free-stream Mach number of 5.1. (Author).

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume deals with the propagation of three-dimensional shock waves and their reflection from curved walls. It is divided into two parts. The first part presents a ray method. This is based on the expansion of fluid properties in power series at an arbitrary point on the shock front. Continuous fractions are used. Results for shock propagation in non-uniform fluids are given.The second part discusses the shock reflection from a concave body. The important shock-focusing problem is included. The work is supported by both numerical and experimental results. Many interesting features, such as formation of a jet, vortices and the appearance of disturbances on the shock front, are discussed.Besides shock waves in gases, the distinctive features of shock propagation through a weakly ionized plasma are considered.

This book was released on 1963 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An experimental investigation was made to determine the pressure distribution, shock shape, and shock detachment distance for spheres and the latter two characteristics for flatfaced bodies in a heated argon flow. The modified Newtonian approximation for the pressure distribution, which is strictly an empirical relationship, gives good results when applied to the first 60 degrees of a hemisphere under conditions where the body boundary layer and the shock layer merge. The natural flow visualization produced as a result of the high total temperature and consequent excitation of the argon enabled this study to be made. Photographs taken of the shocks generated by a series of spheres and flat-faced bodies were analyzed with a photo-densitometer to determine the shock shape and shock detachment distance. The blast analogy predicts a difference in the shape of shocks in argon and air at high Mach numbers and Reynolds numbers. An empirical relationship proposed by Love was used to calculate the shock shape in air for Mach numbers corresponding to those of the present investigation. (Author).
