PRELIMINARY RESULTS ON FAST LUMINOUS FRONTS IN ELECTROMAGNETIC SHOCK TUBES

Abstract

Preliminary results of a theoretical study of precursor effects in electromagnetic shock tubes are presented. In particular, an examination is made of the theories of fast luminous fronts which are observed to precede shock waves in such shock tubes. Errors in a theory by Paxton and Fowler are indicated.
