Unsteady Supersonic Flow from a Tube.
Abstract
The strength of the shock wave in the vicinity of a gun is predicted. The energy release is considered to be a function of time. As the shock wave reaches the point of analysis the energy is still being released. It is found that the energy release by the after-flashing will not significantly alter the shock strength but will affect the flow behind the shock wave. The pressure behind the shock wave will decrease slower if the energy is released continuously. The strength of the shock wave in general decreases with increase of the length of tube and is proportional to the total energy released.
