Air Shock Filling of a Model Room.

Abstract

An Eulerian code was used to numerically investigate the air shock filling by a 5-psi overpressure shock wave of a two-dimensional room (4 in. by 4 in.) having a 1-in. centrally located entrance. Numerical results are presented graphically of pressure and velocity fields, vortex motion, and pressure histories at given locations in the room. Comparisons are made with experimental results which were obtained by shadowgraphs and pressure transducers. (Author)
