Shock tubes simulate jet aerodynamics and investigate the behavior of high-temperature
materials, which has significantly evolved since 1899. This article examines the changes in …

Shock tubes have emerged as an effective tool for applications in various fields of research
and technology. The conventional mode of shock tube operation employs a frangible …

In the present study, we develop a theoretical model for predicting hydrogen jet ignition in a
shock tube with a partially opened diaphragm for hydrogen as a driver gas and air as a …

The paper analyses in details and describes the process of ignition kernel formation and
subsequent detonation onset behind the shock wave propagating in the shock tube. To get …

As the flow field starting device is in a shock tunnel, the rupture performance of the
diaphragm directly influences the successful formation of the shock wave. The general …

A unified theory is presented for predicting hydrogen jet ignition limits for unconfined and
confined releases for any driven-section tube shape. Experimental data for ignition limits are …

We study the dynamics of the gas flow discontinuities after pulse ionization of a half space in
front of a flat shock wave moving in a channel. Pulse volumetric electric discharge initiated in …

The effect of an extension tube with a rectangular slit inlet on the opening status of the metal
diaphragm, as well as spontaneous ignition of pressurized hydrogen are experimentally …

Dynamic loads on specimens in live-fire conditions as well as at different locations within
and outside compressed-gas-driven shock tubes are determined by both static and total …

Spontaneous ignition of released high-pressure hydrogen is one major safety hazard for
rupture disk (RD) device used in hydrogen energy pressure equipment. This study …
