Abstract
The effect of air-flow on shockwaves is determined both experimentally and analytically. It is found that model observations conducted with pure water flows may be extended to prototype flow with an aerated how , by accounting for the mixture shock number. These findings are suppo rted by selected photographs relating to shocks at an abrupt wall defl ection. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd.
