Research into Pulsed Power - Applications of strong shock pressure waves generated by underwater exploding wires

该研究将集中在以下三个领域的应用：-国防：开发紧凑的水下源，用于产生强压力脉冲，用于需要用电磁驱动系统取代爆炸装药的各种应用。食品行业：通过强压力波对预包装食品进行消毒-通过水下强冲击波粉碎物品从电子废物（个人电脑、手机等）中回收贵金属。研究的主要目的是：-设计一种强大的脉冲功率爆炸丝发生器。-用各种爆炸丝优化水下冲击压力输出的实验。- 发展和实施具体的诊断方法，特别是测量冲击压力的方法，博士研究方案还将包括参加国际会议，口头发言，申请学生最佳论文奖，并与波城大学（法国）脉冲功率小组进行联合实验。

The research will focus on applications in the following three domains:- Defence: the development of compact underwater sources for the generation of strong pressure impulses for various applications requiring the replacement of explosive charges by electromagnetically-driven systems.- Food industry: the sterilisation of pre-packed food by strong pressure wave- Recovery of precious metals from e-waste (PCs, mobiles, etc) by shattering items with underwater strong shock waves.The main aims of the research are:- Design of a powerful pulsed power exploding wire generator.- Experiments with various exploding wires for optimising the underwater shock pressure output. - Development and implementation of specific diagnostic methods, particularly for the measurement of shock pressure.The PhD research programme will also include participation at international conferences with oral contributions, application for student best paper awards and joint experiments with the Pulsed Power Group at Pau University (France).
