On Poor Separation in Magnetically Driven Shock Tube
Observations made at steady-state running conditions in a magnetically driven shock tube, with parallel-plate electrodes, showed that for a given discharge voltage, sufficient separation between the shock and the current-sheet occurred only at relatively high discharge pressures. As a comparison, poor separations were also noted in conventional diaphragm-type shock tubes running at low initial pressures.
It is demonstrated that the observed poor separation can be explained by a mass leakage, instead of through the wall boundary layer, but through the current-sheet itself.
