The brief characteristic of a place and state of modern experimental investigations of a ball lightning on the basis of metastable substance is given.

Laser-induced breakdown has shown many potential applications in the various field of science and engineering. As the breakdown occurs in gas or aerosol, a rapid hydrodynamic expansion as shock (blast) wave initiated from the deposition…

Runaway electron termination on plasma facing components can trigger material explosions that are accompanied by the expulsion of fast solid debris. Due to the large kinetic energies of the ejected dust particles, their subsequent…

The prediction and prevention of traumatic brain injury, spinal injury and general musculo-skeletal injury is a very important aspect of preventive medical science. Recently, in a series of papers, I have proposed a new coupled loading-rate…

The aim of this communication is to correct inaccurate statements presented in a Commentary on the paper titled: "Radiation forces and torque on a rigid elliptical cylinder in acoustical plane progressive and (quasi)standing waves with…

Shock tubes simulate blast waves to study their effects in air under laboratory conditions; however, few experimental models exist for simulating underwater blast waves that are needed for facilitating experiments in underwater blast…

In a dusty plasma, an impulsively generated shock, i.e., blast wave, was observed to decay less than would be expected due to gas friction alone. In the experiment, a single layer of microparticles was levitated in a radio-frequency…

Shock waves are supersonic disturbances propagating in a fluid and giving rise to dissipation and drag. Weak shocks, i.e., those of small amplitude, can be well described within the hydrodynamic approximation. On the other hand, strong…

We have empirically estimated how often fireball shocks produce overpressure at the ground sufficient to damage windows. Our study used a numerical entry model to estimate the energy deposition and shock production for a suite of 23…

We study the radial distribution of pressure, density, temperature and flow velocity fields at different times in a two dimensional hard sphere gas that is initially at rest and disturbed by injecting kinetic energy in a localized region…

Although the accurate description of the wave propagation and absorption in plasmas requires complicated full wave solutions or kinetic simulations, the local dispersion analysis can still be helpful to capture the main physics of wave…

Ball lightning is a very rarely observed phenomenon that makes it extremely difficult to characterize scientifically. Eye-witness accounts of ball lightning that describe many features in common have been variously recorded for centuries.…

The passage of energetic ions through tissue initiates a series of physico-chemical events, which lead to biodamage. The study of this scenario using a multiscale approach brought about the theoretical prediction of shock waves initiated by…

Melosh [1996] has suggested that acoustic fluidization could provide an alternative to theories that are invoked as explanations for why some crustal faults appear to be weak. We show that there is a subtle but profound inconsistency in the…

This paper is intended to study impact forces of breaking waves on a rigid wall based on a nonlinear potential-flow theory. This is a model problem for some technologically important design issues such as the impact of breaking waves on…

This paper examines the details of an inelastic collision when a bullet shoots a block vertically upward from below. With the assumption of constant interaction force between them, we obtain quantities of interest including the displacement…

This study examines the pressure exerted by a cavitation bubble collapsing near a rigid wall. A laser-generated bubble in a water basin undergoes growth, collapse, second growth, and final collapse. Shock waves and liquid jets from…

The aerodynamics of a projectile launched from barrels of various devices is quite complicated due to its interactions with the unsteady flow field around it. A computational study using moving grid method is performed here to analyze the…

High-intensity ultrasound excites pre-existing bubbles in tissue-like material, and the subsequent bubble activity may lead to damage. To investigate such damage mechanisms, agar tissue-mimicking phantoms were subjected to multiple pressure…

When a falling jet of fluid strikes a horizontal fluid layer, a hydraulic jump arises downstream of the point of impact provided a critical flow rate is exceeded. We here examine a phenomenon that arises below this jump threshold, a…
