Abstract
The numerical solution for a spherical shock in water produced by spherical piston of known expanding motion and initial nonzero radius is described. This solution is of interest during the time when the radius of the shock and that of the piston are of the same order of magnitude, that is, when point source solutions do not hold. Calculations are carried out for a constant velocity piston and for a piston with decreasing velocity.This publication has 6 references indexed in Scilit:
