Shock wave attenuation in a channel with porous walls

  • Published:
Combustion, Explosion and Shock Waves Aims and scope

Abstract

An approximate method is presented for the calculation of the shock wave (SW) attenuation in channels with porous walls. The method is based on the assumption that the SW velocity depends on the wall porosity, the hydraulic diameter of the channel, the initial SW velocity and on the distance travelled. The results are in satisfactory agreement with the available experimental data.
