Resumo

A computational analysis is performed to investigate unsteady shock wave (SW) formation from electrical foil explosion. The velocity of SW vs. generator power is investigated: results for momentary power release are compared with ones that are obtained for electrical circuit parameters calculation with effects in foil consideration. Physical effects in the foil have been considered in detail. The special case of SW profile formation is analyzed. Results of calculations compared to the experimental data.
