    Abstract

    An experimental study has been conducted to examine the interaction of a shock wave and a vortex ring with a flat plate and a perforated plate. The experiments were carried out using a 30mm internal diameter shock-tube. The driver and driven gas was air. High-speed Schlieren photography was employed to study the development of the flow-field and the resulting interactions with the plates. Wall pressure measurements were also carried out to study the flow quantitatively at the exit of the shock-tube. Three different driver pressures of 4, 8 and 12bar were examined under critical driver length conditions; the shock wave Mach number was 1.33, 1.52 and 1.67, respectively.
