Refractive index in compressible flow at certain time: zyxnn ,,

Light ray in an inhomogeneous refractive field:

- Undisturbed light ray would arrive at Q

- Deflected light ray arrives at point Q*

- Optical length covered by deflected ray

different from that of undisturbed

i.e. t*t

Quantities can be measured in photographic film:

- The displacement *QQ

- The angular deflection *

- The phase shift between both rays *

ShadowgraphShadowgraphAPLLICATION: DETACHED SHOCK WAVE

The shadowgraph of a supersonic flow around a finned hemisphere

The bow shock is detached Because of the blunt body.

The flow behind the nearly normal portion of the shock is subsonic. Thus, no Mach waves are seen near the line of symmetry.

As the subsonic flow sweeps over the body, it accelerates, ultimately becomes sonic and then supersonic.

The position of the transition to supersonic flow can be estimated by noting the position of the first appearance of Mach lines on the body.

ShadowgraphShadowgraphAPPLICATION: SHOCK WAVES AROUND THE X-15

Classical shock wave pattern around a free-flight model of the X-15 at M=3.5.

In the lower half of the image, the convergence of the downstream shocks with the main bow shock is clearly seen.

APPLICATION: PENETRATION OF ALUMINUM FOIL BY A BULLET

Pattern of waves generated as a .222 caliber bullet passes through a hanging sheet of aluminum foil.

The reflected shock is clearly seen at the left of the foil.

A second spherical shock surface can be seen on the right side of the foil.

The small disturbances just behind the shock are bits of the foil ejected at impact.

APPLICATION: REFRACTION OF SHOCK WAVES

The schlieren photo at the right reveals

the pattern of waves generated by

a .222 caliber bullet traveling at about

Mach 3.

The bullet has just passed through the

plume of a candle and the different

densities in the heated plume have

refracted the lower set of shock waves.
