Fusion Device Design – Focusing of Shock Waves in Air and Gases. Part I: Formation and Analysis in One Dimension. Fusion Materials

This small book covers fundamental treatment of discontinuities which gives rise to shock waves by various methods. It explains only one dimensional analysis. A detailed referencing is provided for further treatment in two and three dimensions in air, gases, fluids, their interaction amongthemselves and with solids. Aim is to design a mechanism to focus shock waves generated from high charge explosion (fission) onto a point which may be used to iinitiate thermal fusion.
