Shock tubes have emerged as an effective tool for applications in various fields of research and technology. The conventional mode of shock tube operation employs a frangible diaphragm to generate shockwaves. The last half-century has…

Shock tubes are widely used in the study of chemical kinetics. Its benefits rely on the almost ideal shock-heating process that provides high temperatures and pressures to a chemical system for a limited test time. Just like any reactor,…

Shock tubes are instrumental in studying high-temperature kinetics and simulating high-speed flows. They swiftly elevate the thermodynamic conditions of test gases, making them ideal for examining rapid chemical reactions and generating…

Ignition delay times of cyclohexane-oxygen-argon and cyclopentane-oxygen-argon mixtures have been measured in a shock tube, the onset of ignition being detected by OH radical emission. Mixtures contained 0.5 or 1 % of hydrocarbon for…

The ESTHER shock tube is a new state-of-the-art facility at Instituto Superior T\'ecnico designed to support future ESA planetary exploration missions. Its driver is a high-pressure combustion chamber using a mixture of He:H2:O2 ignited by…

In this work, oblique detonation of n-heptane/air mixture in high-speed wedge flows is simulated by solving the reactive Euler equations with a two-dimensional (2D) configuration. This is a first attempt to model complicated hydrocarbon…

Hydrogen-air deflagrations with venting at the end of obstructed tubes are studied experimentally and numerically. A shockless transition to the so-called chocked regime of the flame propagation is reported. Mixtures with 13% vol. of…

The shock formation process in shock tubes has been extensively studied; however, significant gaps remain in understanding the effects of the diaphragm rupture process on the resulting flow non-uniformities. Existing models predicting the…

Shock tubes have become indispensable tools for advancing research across diverse fields such as aerodynamics, astrophysics, chemical kinetics, and industrial applications. The present study examines shock velocity variations in…

The autoignition delays of mixtures of methyl-cyclohexane (MCH), oxygen, nitrogen, and argon have been studied in a heated rapid compression machine under the conditions $P_C$ = 50 bar, $T_C$ = 690 - 910K. Three different mixture…

Shock tubes provide well-controlled high-temperature and high-pressure conditions for chemical kinetics studies, yet the region behind the reflected shock is seldom perfectly homogeneous. Axial and radial gradients arise from shock…

New experimental data are collected for methyl-cyclohexane (MCH) autoignition in a heated rapid compression machine (RCM). Three mixtures of MCH/O2/N2/Ar at equivalence ratios of $\phi$=0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 are studied and the ignition delays…

Autoignition of n-heptane droplet/vapor/air mixtures behind an oblique shock wave are studied, through Eulerian-Lagrangian method and a skeletal chemical mechanism. The effects of gas/liquid equivalence ratio (ER), droplet diameter, flight…

Shock tubes create simulated blast waves which can be directed and measured to study blast wave effects under laboratory conditions. It is desirable to increase available peak pressure from ~1 MPa to ~5 MPa to simulate closer blast sources…

Experiments and numerical simulations were carried out in order to contribute to a better understanding and prediction of high-pressure injection into a gaseous environment. Specifically, the focus was put on the phase separation processes…

The conventional ways of processing natural gas into more efficient and economical fuels usually either have low conversion rate or low energy efficiency. In this work, a new approach of methane liquefaction is proposed. Instead of direct…

Miniature shock tubes are finding growing importance in a variety of interdisciplinary applications. There is a lack of experimental data to validate the existing shock tube flow models that explain the shockwave attenuation in…

The effects of initial pressure and temperature on the laminar burning speed of n-hexane-air mixtures were investigated experimentally and numerically. The spherically expanding flame technique with a nonlinear extrapolation procedure was…

To better understand the chemistry involved during the combustion of components of diesel fuel, the structure of a laminar lean premixed methane flame doped with n-butylbenzene has been investigated. The inlet gases contained 7.1% (molar)…

A high explosive shock tube of non-ideal gaseous plasma for proton radiography is described. The gas dynamic flow in the shock compressed xenon at initial pressure of 7 bar was investigated in the tube. The velocity of the shock wave in…
