Study of plasma and particles flows from shock-loaded metal target with lateral lighting by argon explosive lamp

Abstract

Abstract Experimental estimates of the process of the ejection of particles and the formation of plasma during the shock wave exits on the free surface of the cooper sample studied were carried out. The radiation intensity was recorded by a three-channel pulsed pyrometer in an experimental assembly with lateral observation. When the impactor speed was about 5 km/s, a stream of particles and plasma flew from the target surface, the front speed of which reached 12.5 km/s.
