Shock Focussing Effect in Medical Science and Sonoluminescence

Shock Focussing Effect in Medical Science and Sonoluminescence edited by Ramesh C. Srivastava, Dieter Leutloff, Kazuyashi Takayama, Hans Grönig.

In 1942 Guderley investigated the behaviour of the typical parameters near the axis when he was studying the focusing of cylindrical shock waves by solving the partial differential equations using the similarity method. He pre­ dicted an infinitely large pressure and temperature at the axis of conve...
