研究 Website: Shock and Gas Dynamics Laboratory
Curriculum Vita: Dr. Michael Hargather CV
Dr. Hargather's research group, the NMT Shock and Gas Dynamics Laboratory (SGDL), performs research on a variety of thermal-fluid 动力学 topics while educating
graduate and undergraduate students. Dr. Hargather's research philosophy is to perform
high-quality, cutting-edge research while educating students in the research process,
including the design of experiments, data collection and analysis, research sponsor
interaction and technical writing.
The research focus of the SGDL is experimental thermal-fluid 动力学 with specialties in optical flow diagnostics. Optical techniques including schlieren and shadowgraphy are prominent tools of this experimental lab and are applied to studying high-speed gas 动力学, characterization of explosives and energetic materials, and thermal-fluid flow problems, as exemplified by the schlieren image of a firework explosion shown. The research covers a wide range of scales, from micro-detonation experiments to development of field-testing methods to track explosively driven shock waves in three-dimensions from explosions of several kilograms.
