The flow characteristics on a truncated cone with a cylinder were experimentally investigated in a Mach 5 flow with a Reynolds number 3.8 × 10, based on the cylindrical diameter. Two different truncation ratios of 0.5 and 0.7 were used. The incidence angle varied from -12 to 0 degrees with 3 degrees intervals to investigate the influence of the truncation ratio on the surface flow pattern. The ...

in this research, shock wave motion, shock/boundary layer interaction, and flow separation in a transonic flow over a naca0012 airfoil were investigated experimentally. thirteen kulite sensors were utilized for measurement of pressure fluctuations over the airfoil. experiments were performed for angles of attack between -4 to 4 degrees and flow mach numbers of m= 0.39 to 0.82. the kulite sensor...

BACKGROUND Greater trochanteric pain syndrome is often a manifestation of underlying gluteal tendinopathy. Extracorporeal shock wave therapy is effective in numerous types of tendinopathies. HYPOTHESIS Shock wave therapy is an effective treatment for chronic greater trochanteric pain syndrome. STUDY DESIGN Case control study; Level of evidence, 3. METHODS Thirty-three patients with chroni...

Experiments were performed to analyze the interaction of an explosively driven shock wave and a propane flame. A 30 g explosive charge was detonated at one end of a 3-m-long, 0.6-m-diameter shock tube to produce a shock wave which propagated into the atmosphere. A propane flame source was positioned at various locations outside of the shock tube to investigate the effect of different strength s...

We report results from the analysis of the shock wave formed following the creation of a laser-produced plasma in a gaseous atmosphere, using both interferometry and shadowgraphy. A Nomarski polarization interferometer and a focused-type shadowgraphy setup were utilized to track the evolution of the shock wave with high spatial and temporal resolution for a variety of incident laser energies an...
