Concerning the emission of a shock wave from a tube into free space
Abstract
A relation is obtained that closes Whitham's system of equations describing shock-wave propagation. The problem of shock-wave emission from a circular tube into free space is examined. A dependence of shock-wave intensity along the symmetry axis of the tube on the longitudinal coordinate is obtained, which agrees well with experimental data.
