A note on the oscillating shock wave - Some experiments with a resonance tube
Abstract
Schlieren photography was used to observe the effects of oscillating shock waves generated in end-closed resonance tubes placed in supersonic flow. The shock wave was observed to oscillate with a specific frequency determined by the tube length. Stagnation pressure behind the shock wave rose from its stationary value as a result. Shock oscillation amplitude is a function of frequency, a phenomenon which cannot be fully explained by linear theory.
