Abstract
Pressure pulses were produced in water boiling in a vertical glass pipe by initiating a shock wave in the gas above the liquid. The steepness of the wave front of the shock decays rapidly so that within a few centimeters below the surface the pressure takes several milliseconds to rise to the value of the shock pressure in the gas. For pressures sufficient to condense all the steam bubbles in the water, a very high pressure is observed at the instant at which all the steam is condensed. This large pressure amplification is due to the sudden deceleration when the water hits the end of the pipe. The observations corroborate computations. (This research was supported by the U. S. Atomic Energy Commission.)
