Passage of a bubble-detonation wave into a liquid

The passage of a detonation wave from a chemically active bubble media into a chemically inert medium (liquid) is studied experimentally. The structure of the transmitted wave and the wave reflected from the butt-end of a shock tube (post-detonation waves) is investigated, and the pressures of these waves for different liquids are measured. The evolution of the post-detonation waves is traced, their velocities are measured, and the attenuation constants of these waves are determined. The energy-dissipation mechanisms for post-detonation waves in liquids are analyzed qualitatively.
