MODELING OF A PHYSICAL EXPERIMENT OF PIPELINE DIAGNOSTICS USING THE SHOCK WAVE METHOD

The paper proposes a diagnostic method for identifying potentially hazardous sections of pipelines intended for liquid and gas flows, based on the use of a fast-flowing shock-wave effect of an electric discharge. The validity of the proposed diagnostic method is confirmed by the results of a physical experiment simulating the processes of shock-wave action on the internal surfaces of the pipes being diagnosed. An information-measuring system is presented for studying the spatio-temporal parameters of incident and interacting shock waves of axial direction of an electric explosion of a conductor in a discharge chamber with a condensed medium.
