WHAT DOES SHOCK TUBE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Shock tube

For the pyrotechnic initiator, see Shock tube detonator An idealized shock tube. The plot shows different waves which are formed in the tube once the diaphragm is ruptured. The shock tube is an instrument used to replicate and direct blast waves at a sensor or a model in order to simulate actual explosions and their effects, usually on a smaller scale. Shock tubes can also be used to study aerodynamic flow under a wide range of temperatures and pressures that are difficult to obtain in other types of testing facilities. Shock tubes are also used to investigate compressible flow phenomena and gas phase combustion reactions. More recently, shock tubes have been used in biomedical research to study how biological specimens are affected by blast waves. A shock wave inside a shock tube may be generated by a small explosion or by the buildup of high pressures which cause diaphragm to burst and a shock wave to propagate down the shock tube.

Definition of shock tube in the English dictionary

The definition of shock tube in the dictionary is an apparatus in which a gas is heated to very high temperatures by means of a shock wave, usually for spectroscopic investigation of the natures and reactions of the resulting radicals and excited molecules.
