Week 7: Shock tube simulation project

Aim: Setup a transient shock tube simulation

Theory:

Shock Tube:

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.

Simulation setup:
