Estimates of Blowdown of Quasi-Static Pressures in Vented Chambers

Abstract

This report presents recent analyses, and fits of experimental data to scaled parameters, for blowdown pressures in vented chambers. Theoretical predictions are made for time histories of blowdown pressures, and a scaling law is presented. Limited comparisons are made with experiment.
