Experimental investigation of the effect of unit Reynolds number on unsteady pressure growth behind the reflected shock wave in a shock tube
摘要
Shock tubes have been widely used to obtain a uniform flow and/or a gas with high pressure and high temperature for aerodynamic, chemical, and combustion studies. Under the ideal condition, the flow properties, such as pressure and temperature, are kept constant during the test time, but in the real world, this may not happen due to the viscous effect, such as the boundary layer development, which depends on the unit Reynolds number. To investigate the effect of the unit Reynolds number on the pressure growth at the end-wall during the test time, experiments were conducted under a range of unit Reynolds numbers from
