  3. SPHERICAL SHOCK WAVE CONVERGENCE AND CUMULATION Initiation of a Spherical Shock Waveby the Convergent Interface • Selfsimilar Cumulation • of the Spherical or Cylindrical Shock Wave • from the Infinity • Guderley, 1942; • Landau & Stanyukovich, 1955; • Nigmatulin, 1967 Focusing of the Spherical Shock Waveat the Center of the Bubble The Spherical Shock Waveafter the Reflectionfrom the Center of the Bubble

  5. Supercompression by Convergent Spherical Shock Wave Moss et al (Livermore National Laboratory, 1994) Radius of the Hot Plasma Core: 109 m = 1 nm Density: 10 g/cm3 = 104 kg/m3 Temperature: 106 K Time Duration:  1011 s = 10 ps No Thermonuclear Fusion

  6. HOW TO AMPLIFY THE SUPERCOMPRESSION? • AMPLIFING THE ACOUSTIC WAVE (pI  15-20 bar) • GAS IN THE BUBBLE:CONDENSING VAPOR (VAPOR CAVITATION) • - Minimizing Effect of Gas Cushioning • - Higher Kinetic Energy of Convergent Liquid • COLD LIQUID • LARGE MOLECULES (ORGANIC) LIQUID – Low Sound Speed in Vapor • CLUSTER of the Bubbles

  7. Kinetic Energy of Convergent Flow around the Bubble (CFAB) p 15 bar(in SBSLp  1.5 bar) Rmax 500 – 800 mcm(in SBSLRmax 50 – 80 mcm) In our experiments: • the Kinetic EnergyKof CFAB is104 times higher • the maximum mass of the gas 103 times higher BUT the final mass of the gas in the Bubblemisonly 50-100times higher (because of the condensation) • K/m and Tmax is = 100 – 200 times higher than in SBSL It means that in our experiment we may getTmax (100-200)106 K
