SHOCK TUBE TECHNIQUES AND INSTRUMENTATION

Abstract

A survey of shock tube techniques and instrumentation is presented. Ideal shock tube theory is outlined as are various phenomena which influence actual performance. Shock tubes designed for specific purposes are described. Shock tube instrumentation is discussed in terms of the variable to be measured.
