Abstract
Sharp variation of pressure was observed downstream of the diffusor on investigating the retardation of an underexpanded sonic jet by means of the diffusor. This phenomenon is explained by examining the Schlieren photographs. A relationship was obtained for determining the mass rate of flow through the central shock.
