Excerpt from Spherical Waves and ShocksTwo theories of the propagation of Spherical shocks, having a similar approach, have been.put forward independently. One theory was developed by Kirkwood and Bethe in l9u2, but then it was contained in a confidential report, and the first published account appeared (without full details) in l9u8 in R. H. Cole's book Underwater explosiomp. Unaware of this work, the author obtained a theory, early in 1951, which a recent inwestigation has shown to have much in common with the kirkwood-bethe theory. Kirkwood and Bethe considered the problem of an explosion in water and found how the head shock propagates, it is relevant to note here that their results are intended to hold true (for water) even if the shock is not weak. On the other hand, the author found a theory for the propagation of £335 spherical shocks (in any medium) but obtained a description of the whole flow, for example, later shocks which occur in addition to the head shock were predicted and determined. Thus the theories overlap in that they both apply to a weak head shock, the kirkwood-bethe theory treats, in addition, a non-weak head shock in water (an addition of much practical value), whilst the author's theory determines, in addition, the later flows and additional shocks.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
