rroject 1.3 - SHOCK PHOTOGRAPHY ~ J. Fetes

CeJECPLVES
The objectives for this shot were as follows:
1.

To study the mechanical effects of a water surface on shock

2.

To study the thermal effects, if any, resulting from the heating

of air ntar the ground surface on shock transmission.
3.

To determine peak shock overpressure as a function of distance

both at the surface (water) and above ground sero,

srissure (obgzctive 3) and for a study of the mechanical effects of a

ber surface on shock propagation (objective 1).
As the result of a power failure on the Mack tower, no films were
obtained.

Consequently, a study of thermal effects on this shot is

impossible (objective 2).
