Abstract
Gas dynamics of a low-pressure chamber in a double-chamber hotshot wind tunnel is considered. The time needed to fill the second chamber is in good agreement with the value obtained by examining the quasi-steady process of emptying and filling of the high-pressure and low-pressure chambers. The transitional process is strongly affected by wave processes in the channel between the chambers. By changing the place of the throttling grid in this channel, one can change the time of filling of the second chamber (decrease it severalfold). The examined schemes of air input into the second chamber ensure its complete deceleration. The Mach number at the exit of the second chamber (in the windtunnel nozzle throat) is almost constant over the cross section and close to unity.
