The experimentally observed and simulated density, velocity, and vorticity
for a shocked gas column 750 microseconds after the shock wave has left
the downstream edge of the column. After two years of close collaboration
between the experimenters and a code user, the experimental and simulated
magnitudes of the peak velocities now agree to within 10-15 percent. The
signs and magnitudes of the vorticity are also similar for the two cases.
As seen in the close-ups of the density comparison, the simulated results
reproduce the larger-scale structure of the experimentally observed results
but not the smaller-scale structure. |
