Book Description
In recent years, a considerable volume of research was undertaken in the ield f high temperature gas dynamics in which the shock tube was employed as the principal experimental tool. In particular, a substantial fraction of this research effort was devoted to the study of phenomena peculiar to air and its component gases, and is, therefore, directly applicable to many aerophysics problems associated with hypersonic flight through the Earth's atmosphere. However, in spite of their omniexistence, most of these works were published over a period of time in a scattered manner, and hence, appear to be somewhat incoherent. A preliminary effort is made to compile these published works under various identifiable (if somewhat arbitrary) topics so as to provide a more convenient reference for investigators in this field. Whenever possible, the advantages and limitations of the shock tube as a research tool for tackling the various topics of interest are also pointed out. (Author).
