Abstract: Parameters of shock waves generated by a wire explosion in a gas, liquid, and inert or reactive bubbled media in a vertical shock tube are measured. Problems of shock wave velocity measurements in a liquid and inert bubbled medium are discussed. Experimental data are compared with theoretical estimates. Excitation of self-sustained detonation in a chemically active medium by a short shock wave induced by a wire explosion is studied.

Keywords: wire explosion, shock wave, velocity of sound, liquid, bubbled medium, bubble detonation.
