Annotation
A picture of the gas flow close to a gradually opening diaphragm in a shock tube is obtained. The velocity distribution in the shock wave along the length of the tube, in the range of Mach numbers 2.13 to 2.75, is found for various diaphragm opening speeds. The gas flow in the tube is substantially nonuniform and depends on the way the diaphragm opens.
