Abstract.

A new variable inclination shock tube has been set up especially for the visualization of shock induced high speed flows. This device allows for the generation of shock waves of Mach numbers ranging from 1.05 to 4, moving horizontally, vertically from up to down or the opposite, or with any inclination angle. It is coupled with a suitable high-speed camera shadowgraph visualization system, and the whole facility has been realized so as to be both very easy to use and movable. We believe this example could be of interest to scientists interested in starting experiments on shock wave induced multi-phase complex flows.
