Review text

Theoretical study of a weak shock focusing process in a confined chamber filled with liquid is presented. The chamber has a form of a thin cylinder with a parabolic cross-section, planar bottom and an arbitrary, although slowly varying, upper bounding surface. A planar shock, perpendicular to the axis of the parabolic cross-section, sent in the inner of the chamber will converge at the focus after the reflection off the chamber wall, thus offering a different technical realization of the shock generation. The problem is solved within the frame of the geometrical acoustics approximation and a relation between the form of the upper bounding surface of the chamber and the pressure distribution behind the converging wavefront is obtained.
