High amplitude propagation in liquids

The attenuation of a high amplitude pulse travelling through a column of liquid contained in a rigid tube is measured experimentally with a new type of hydrophone for two liquids, water and sodium chloride solutions over a range of pressure pulses extending from 30 to 700 atmospheres. An expression...

description The attenuation of a high amplitude pulse travelling through a column of liquid contained in a rigid tube is measured experimentally with a new type of hydrophone for two liquids, water and sodium chloride solutions over a range of pressure pulses extending from 30 to 700 atmospheres. An expression based on simple shock wave theory for the attenuation of such a pulse in the semi-stable region of propagation is derived and is found to agree with the measurements if a suitable empirical equation of state for the liquid is assumed.
