| Abstract: | When a shock wave emerges from a pipe situated in a semibounded volume a system of waves arises between the end of the pipe and the bottom of the volume, and also in the gap between the pipe and the side walls of the volume. Paper 1] considers the propagation of a shock wave after emerging from the pipe until touching the side walls of the volume. The present paper considers the gas motion in a semibounded volume after the shock wave has traversed the volume and made contact with the side walls. In part 1 a physical model is constructed of the gas motion up to the time when the primary shock wave reaches the bottom of the volume. In part 2 relations are found which enable us to determine the stream parameters in the semibounded volume up to the time when the primary shock wave arrives at the bottom of the volume. Section 3 considers the motion of the reflected shock wave between the pipe and the side walls of the volume. |
