...I. da S. Rêgo; T. Ando; K. Misumi; T. Miyazaki; S. Nishiyori; K. N. Sato; M. Sakamoto; S. Kawasaki A double piston-actuated structure designed for replacing the use of diaphragms in conventional shock tubes has been recently developed. In order to clarify the piston sliding process...

...P. Colonna; A. Guardone; N. R. Nannan; C. Zamfirescu This paper presents the conceptual design of the flexible asymmetric shock tube (FAST) setup for the experimental verification of the existence of nonclassical rarefaction shock waves in molecularly complex dense vapors. The FAST setup...

... is applied to subsonic and supersonic projectiles in water, general multiphase shock tubes, and a high-speed water entry problem. Low-speed solutions are presented and compared to experimental results for validation. Solutions for high-subsonic and transonic projectile flows are compared to experimental...

... to each generalized Riemann problem. For details regarding the GRP scheme the reader is referred to 4 . In the experimental part, a shock tube equipped with a very short driver section is employed. In the numerical part the entire flow generated inside the shock tube is studied, from its initiation...
