Fundamental of Shock Waves and Shock Tube

2019
A shock wave is a thin transitive area propagating at supersonic speed (Mach no., Ms > 1), and it is characterized by an abrupt change in flow properties like pressure, density and temperature. Shock tube is a laboratory test facility and is generally used to generate shock waves under controlled conditions.

Precursor Waves in Shock Tubes

The Physics of Fluids, 1963
Weymann's observation of a wave of electrons propagating from a strong shock into the region ahead of it is considered. By taking into account the mutual electrostatic repulsion of the electrons through a simple approximation, the main features of the precursor wave motion can be explained.

Magnetohydrodynamic Flow in a Shock Tube

The Physics of Fluids, 1959
The effect of a transverse magnetic field on the motion of a perfectly conducting fluid in a shock tube is examined. A generalized form of the Riemann invariant for the continuous motion of such a fluid is combined with the conservation equations for a magnetohydrodynamic shock to obtain an exact description of the fluid motion in a shock tube in terms

Curvature of Shock Fronts in Shock Tubes

The Physics of Fluids, 1963
Hartunian's theory for the curvature of a shock wave progressing into quiescent gas near a wall is extended to the cases of two parallel walls, of a rectangular tube and of a circular tube. Shock curvature is considered as caused both by laminar and by turbulent boundary layers along the walls behind the shock.

Attenuation in the Shock Tube

Journal of Applied Physics, 1953
By timing the successive arrivals of a shock at stations placed along the channel of a shock tube, measurements have been made of the decrease in shock velocity with travel. These measurements were carried out for shocks moving into air at atmospheric pressure.

Microscale Shock Tube

Journal of Microelectromechanical Systems, 2012
This paper reports on the design, microfabrication, characterization, and testing of the first instrumented micrometer-scale shock tube. This device was fabricated by a series of etching, deposition, and patterning processes of the different structural layers on a silicon substrate to first create an array of direct-sensing piezoelectric pressure ...

Hydrodynamic Shock Tubes

1994
Abstract The simple shock tube is well established as a facility for investigating numerous problems in the physical sciences. A similar method has been extended to the study of cylindrical and spherical shock waves and expansion waves in Chapter 8.

A cylindrical converging shock tube for shock-interface studies

Review of Scientific Instruments, 2014
A shock tube facility for generating a cylindrical converging shock wave is developed in this work. Based on the shock dynamics theory, a specific wall profile is designed for the test section of the shock tube to transfer a planar shock into a cylindrical one.

Instability theory of shock wave in a shock tube

Acta Mechanica Sinica, 1992
The instability theory of shock wave in a shock tube including the effects of tube wall and contact surface is studied. The experimental data of unstable shock wave coincide with one of instability criteria derived in the present paper.

Speciation in Shock Tubes

2013
A shock tube is a device in which a shock wave is normally formed by the rupture of a diaphragm, which divides a gas at high pressure from a test section containing the species of interest at a lower pressure. The shock wave brings the test gas virtually instantaneously to a known high temperature and pressure, maintains that condition for a time and ...
