Abstract
An experimental study has been conducted to examine the interaction of a shock wave and a vortex ring with a cylinder and a sphere. 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 body configurations. Wall pressure measurements were also carried out to study the flow quantitatively at the apex of the cylindrical surface. Three different driver pressures of 4, 8, and 12 bar were examined under maximum driver length (1477mm); the shock wave Mach number at the exit of the tube was 1.33, 1.52 and 1.67 respectively.
