Shock tube - Wikipedia
A shock tube is an instrument used to replicate and direct blast waves at a sensor or model in order to simulate explosions and their effects, usually on a smaller scale.
Shock Tubes - Hanson Research Group
A shock tube is an impulse reactor that generates shock waves to near-instantaneously heat a test gas. Shock tubes uniquely operate across a wide range of temperature (500–10,000+ K) and pressure (0.01–1000+ atm) conditions.
Shock-Tube Physics - Texas A&M University
Shock tubes are ideal devices for studying combustion and chemical kinetics at high temperature and pressure. These devices produce these conditions by generating a shock wave to compress and heat the test gas (e.g. methane-air, etc.).
The shock tube, a laboratory instrument used to gen- erate shock waves under controlled conditions, is a natural tool for experimental investigations of shock-associated phenomena.
The simplest model of shock tube consists of creating in a tube of constant (circular or rectangular) cross-section a moving shock wave generating a flow at high temperature and out of equilibrium. Ideally, this flow is one-dimensional and not dissipative [1-6].
The GALCIT 6 inch shock tube (see Figure1) has a 20-foot 4-inch (6.2 m) driver section, a 37-foot (11.3 m) driven section, and an 8-foot (24.4 m) test section. The driver and driven sections and the driven and test
A review on Shock tubes with multitudinous applications
Feb 1, 2023 · Shock tubes simulate jet aerodynamics and investigate the behavior of high-temperature materials, which has significantly evolved since 1899. This article examines the changes in testing techniques applied since 2000.
Shock Tubes - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Shock tubes are devices used in gas-phase experiments to rapidly generate high temperatures, enabling the study of subsequent chemical changes. They consist of a metal tube divided into high-pressure and low-pressure sections, separated by a thin diaphragm.
Shock tube is a low-cost tool which can also generate blast wave under controlled laboratory conditions without the use of explosives. Moreover, among the mentioned blast simulators, shock tube alone facilitates the direct interaction of gas with the sample (as observed in an actual blast).
Shock Tubes - an overview | ScienceDirect Topics
Apr 1, 2012 · Shock Tubes are devices used to study gas phase reactions on a timescale of microseconds to milliseconds at high temperatures, typically several thousand kelvins. These tubes generate a shock wave by rupturing a diaphragm between a driver gas and a reactant gas, leading to compression and heating of the reactant gas in a very short time.
