Abstract: | The flow in the shock tube, which models the flow conditions behind a blast wave, is calculated for an inviscid non-heat-conducting perfect gas with a constant value of the specific heat ratio. The results are compared with the authors' experimental data.Translated from Izvestiya Rossiiskoi Akademii Nauk, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No.3, pp. 141–148, May–June, 1992.The authors are grateful to V.
