RESEARCH DIRECTED TOWARD THEORETICAL AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATIONS IN LABORATORY ASTROPHYSICS INVOLVING SHOCK HEATED HIGH TEMPERATURE GASES.

Abstract

The design, construction and development of a shock tube facility is described. The spectroscopic, ultrasonic and electronic equipment associated with the shock tube is also described. Simultaneous time resolved photographic and photoelectric records of reflected shock spectra are illustrated. Gas temperature measurement by an ultrasonic pulse method is discussed in addition to a proposed electron beam technique for gas density measurements. (Author)
