Abstract
A modified expansion-shock tube for nucleation and condensation studie s in a supersaturated vapour is described. An analysis is made of the gas-dynamical properties of the new tube configuration and numerical s imulations with the Random Choice Method are compared with experiments . It is shown that with the modified configuration one single nucleati on pulse can be realized.
