Annotation

A study is made on the spatial interaction of an initially planar shock wave with acoustic and entropy perturbations in a perfect gas thermodynamically in equilibrium. Experiments nave been performed on shock-wave transmission by a gas mixture having a concentration gradient in a shock tube. It is observed that a vortex is formed behind the reflected wave.
