Design of a Hypersonic Waterjet Apparatus Driven by High Explosives

The design and construction of a hypersonic waterjet apparatus is described. Jet velocities from 0.5 to 5 km/s have been achieved using a high explosive charge. Images are obtained in situ on various target substrates using a high-speed framing camera. Experimental results are shown for the impact of high velocity waterjets on propellants and high explosive samples. By observing the impact of the waterjet at a wide range of velocities a safety threshold can be determined where no reaction takes place

A Practicum in Financial Planning

A Practicum in Financial Planning explains the six stage process of creating a comprehensive financial plan, and in doing so provides an example of a financial plan for the Jackson family to clarify the process. The six stage process consists of: establishing and defining the client-planner relationship, gathering client data, analyzing and evaluating the client’s current financial status, developing and presenting recommendations and/or alternatives, implementing the recommendations, and monitoring the recommendations. The importance of a financial plan for all individuals is also discussed
