Diagnostics of a converging strong shock wave generated by underwater explosion of spherical wire array

“…At the present, we have no explanation for the delay in the response of the carbon resistor and we can only mention that a similar phenomenon was obtained in earlier research. 24 These experimental data were compared with the results of numerical simulations in which the carbon resistor was considered as a sequence of many resistors R io connected in series, experiencing the simulated pressure P i ðtÞ evolution behind the front of the converging SW (see Fig. 8(b)).…”
