The work hereby presented is part of a project currently underway at the Energy Technology section, TU Delft, aimed at the experimental proof of nonclassical gasdynamic effects in BZT fluids. One of the ideas under scrutiny is to employ a recently developed experimental technique to generate and visualize spherical compression waves in a BZT gas. Flow simulations were performed to evaluate the potential of using this experimental arrangement to investigate the formation and propagation of nonclassical waves. Results of D6 (dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane) flow field computations generated by point explosions are hereby presented and show that the spreading of the nonclassical compression can be hardly detected by means of optical measurements. An alternative experimental technique, i.e. total pressure measurements at different locations, is briefly discussed.

Abstract
The work hereby presented is part of a project currently underway at the Energy Technology section, TU Delft, aimed at the experimental proof of nonclassical gasdynamic effects in BZT fluids. One of the ideas under scrutiny is to employ a recently developed experimental technique to generate and visualize spherical compression waves in a BZT gas. Flow simulations were performed to evaluate the potential of using this experimental arrangement to investigate the formation and propagation of nonclassical waves. Results of D6 (dodecamethylcyclohexasiloxane) flow field computations generated by point explosions are hereby presented and show that the spreading of the nonclassical compression can be hardly detected by means of optical measurements. An alternative experimental technique, i.e. total pressure measurements at different locations, is briefly discussed.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
