Study of shock wave reflection in rectangular channels by means of Cranz-Schardin system in parallel beams
Abstract
Shock-wave reflection in narrow channels has been studied by means of the Cranz-Schardin system with parallel beams. A sequence of three single schlieren pictures of the flow was taken along with a streak record. The interaction of the reflected shock with the boundary layer behind the incident shock wave is discussed. New phenomena have been observed, including the existence of vortices near the closed end of the tube. The formation of pseudoshock waves has been observed.
