Experimental Study on the Influence of Water Barrier Placement Position on Shock Wave Pressure Peak

Abstract

According to the self-built experimental platform, the shock wave experiment with and without a water barrier was carried out, the influence of the existence of a water barrier on the shock wave pressure peak was compared, and the influence of the water placement position on the attenuation effect of the pressure peak was studied. The experimental results show that the existence of a water barrier can completely attenuate the shock wave over-pressure peak, but the formation of aerosol clouds driven by high-speed airflow after the water barrier wave will produce corresponding dynamic pressure peaks. The effect of attenuating the pressure peak will not be achieved near the water barrier, and the pressure peak can be effectively attenuated farther away from the water barrier.
