Abstract

Importance: Shock Tubes are an alternative way to cut the cost of flight testing in supersonic and hypersonic flight regimes by creating shock waves that can be studied on the ground in a safer manner. Motivation: Build a supersonic shock tube with an accessible test section to better understand and study supersonic flows, experimentation & data analysis, and shock wave visualization techniques.
