Abstract
A novel shock tube facility is described for studying the interaction of a reactive, turbulent field with a shock or a detonation wave. This shock tube is different from existing approaches due to the need to propagate a shock wave into a quiescent, reactive, turbulent medium. The turbulence is generated by pulling a turbulence-generating grid through the test section. The turbulence is allowed to decay prior to propagating either a shock or a detonation wave. The shock tube can be configured in different ways depending on whether a shock or a detonation wave is to be propagated through the medium. A preliminary test of a weak shock propagation is reported. Recommendations for future work are included.
