Experimental characterization of the transonic test section flow in a Ludwieg tube

Characterization of a novel open-ended shock tube facility based on detonation transmission tubing

“…The shock wave produces a high pressure and a high temperature as well as induced high speed flow. Since the magnitude of these flow features depends on the initial pressure ratio between the driver and driven sections as well as the specific heat ratio of gas medium, shock tubes can be used to study aerodynamic flows in a wide range of temperatures and pressures, which are difficult to obtain in other types of testing facilities [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16]. Additionally, shock tubes are applicable to fundamental research in medicine, biology, and industries [17][18][19][20][21][22][23].…”
