Volume I: Hypersonics, Shock-Tube and Shock Tunnel Flow — An Introductory Survey

Abstract

This article attempts to review four groups of papers, all of which fall in the general category of hypersonic flow or shock tube and shock tunnel flows. No attempt is made to discuss individual papers. Instead the aim is to give a personal view of the most important problem areas, to comment on the way they are being tackled and to describe any novel techniques that have emerged.
