Speed Determinations of Low Amplitude Shock Waves in a Shock Tube
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to create shock waves with amplitudes of about 5 psi and to measure
both shock speed and pressure profile in an air-filled
tube. Rankine - Hugoniot theory predicts that a shock
wave travels at a speed dependent upon the pressure of
the shock and the medium in which the shock is traveling.
In this paper comparison is made between between
theoretical and experimental values of shock speed.

A Study of the Shape of Low Amplitude Shock Waves in a Shock Tube
(1967)A simple form of the shock tube consists of two pieces of tubing separated by a thin air-tight diaphragm. After a pressure difference is created across the diaphragm, it is ruptured. The resulting rush of air from the ... -
