Rotational intensity measurements on the CN spectrum, excited through shock excitation of a powdered mixture of NH4Cl, KNO2, and C by helium-driven shock waves in argon have been used to infer "rotational temperatures" of the gas between 6350 °K and 8750 °K. The measured values agree well with gas kinetic temperatures inferred from simple gas dynamic theory and shock-wave velocity measurements.

This paper describes effects of shock waves on cells to certificate the angiogenesis by shock wave (pressure wave) in the clinical application such as ESW (Extracorporeal Shock Wave). Especially, to investigate the effects of shock waves on the endothelial cells in vitro, the cells worked by plane shock waves using shock tube apparatus are observed and measured in the microscope. The peak pressure working on the endothelial cells at the test case is 0.4 MPa. After working shock waves on suspended cells, growth rate (area per one cell and population of cells) are measured by image processing. It is found that the growth rate of the shock-worked cells from 0 to 4h is clearly high compared with control one. It is concluded that once shock waves worked, the cells have capacity to increase growth rate in vitro. This preliminary result will be applied to fundamental investigations about shock wave stimulus on several kinds of cells in future.

This paper reports on the design and performance of a large diameter diaphragmless shock tube that has been recently developed in order to experimentally study various basic characteristics of the gas-dynamic laser (GDL). The main engineering element of the shock tube is a diaphragm-like sliding piston (in place of a rupturing diaphragm) by which normal shock waves are formed. The role of such a structure in generating repeatable shock waves is discussed. The shock tube performs in good accordance with the simple shock tube theory, as has been verified so far by experiments with some conventional lasing gases (gaseous mixtures of CO2 and N2 and those diluted with an excess of He) at shock wave Mach numbers ranging from 1 to 5. Recent results of the stagnation conditions achieved in the shock tube with application to GDL experiments are included as well.

In this study, we propose a smoothed particle hydrodynamics model for simulating a shock wave interacting with cylindrical gas inhomogeneities inside a shock tube. When the gas inhomogeneity interacts with the shock wave, it assumes different shapes depending on the difference in densities between the gas inhomogeneity and the external gas. The model uses a piecewise smoothing length approach and is validated by comparing the results obtained with experimental and CFD data available in the literature. In all the cases considered, the evolution of the inhomogeneity is similar to the experimental shadowgraphs and is at least as accurate as the CFD results in terms of timescale and shape of the gas inhomogeneity.
