3B45.00Shock Waves
3B45.10ripple tank film loopsPIRA 200A 3:45 film loop shows doppler effect and shock waves.
3B45.10ripple tank film loop - shock waves3B45.10The film loop lasts 3:45.
3B45.11continuous ripple-tank dopplerAJP 48(6),498A loudspeaker wave generator is used with a large slowly turning disk of water for continuous generation of Doppler and shock waves. Only the small portion of the disk of interest is illuminated at one time.
3B45.13shock wave in water17-9.4A film of water flowing down an incline is interrupted by a point producing waves.
3B45.15shock waves in ripple tankPIRA 1000
3B45.15ripple tank doppler and bow shockAJP 43(1),101Mount a burette on a carriage over a large pan of water.
3B45.20pop the champagne corkPIRA 1000
3B45.20pop the champagne cork17-9.3Pop a plastic cork out of a water filled champagne bottle by hitting the base on a pine board.
3B45.30solition tankPIRA 1000
3B45.31nonpropagating hydrodynamic solitonsAJP 58(11),1100Theory and apparatus for producing solitons of (0,1) and (0,2) modes are discussed.
3B45.35water trough tidal bore17-9.1Water in a long tank is given a sudden impulse with a paddle and a shock wave is produced.
3B45.40tsunami tankPIRA 1000
3B45.40tsunamisAJP 44(11),1073A simple sloping tank with ground glass side for recording the peak profile.
3B45.60supersonic jet17-9.5Schleirin optics are used to project the flow of a supersonic jet.
3B45.65shock waves in argon17-9.2An elaborate setup to introduce helium into a low pressure argon tube and cause a yellow glow from the compressed argon.
