Description

In general, the distance-time history of a shock front moving through a transparent medium is obtained by the aquarium technique. Differentiation of the distance-time curve yields shock velocity information, and given the Hugoniot of the transparent medium, a pressure-time history may be calculated. Distilled water typically comprises the transparent medium for the aquarium technique, hence, desirable properties of the fluid to be selected were patterned after those of water. The aquarium technique has been extended to encompass the temperature range from {minus}45 to +165 F by selection and calibration of a dimethyl polysiloxane fluid suitable for the referenced range.
