Fluid Dynamics Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

The motion of shock waves against a steady flow in a channel of variable cross section is considered. Situations for which Chisnell's hypothesis [1] or a quasistationary flow model are valid are considered. The problem is of interest, in particular, in connection with the investigation of the starting of shock wind tunnels.
