Rarefaction Wave Eliminator Concepts For A Large Blast/Thermal Simulator.

Abstract

Several design concepts for rarefaction wave eliminators were tested on a 1/285th scale model shock tube. The most promising concepts - vented plate and multiple vented bars - were tried at larger scales on the BRL 0.57 and 2.44 metre shock tubes. Either of these two designs is believed to be acceptable for use on a large blast/thermal simulator.
