The nonlinear characteristic differential equations applicable to a quasi-one-dimensional unsteady channel flow with friction and heat transfer are linearized and integrated in functional form for the particular study of small perturbations from ideal shock-tube flows. If the equivalence of unsteady- and steady-flow boundary layers is assumed, the problem of determining the perturbation in the unsteady flow reduces to an evaluation of the drag of a flat plate in the equivalent steady flow.

An electromagnetically driven shock tube was studied as a possible new tool for aerodynamic research in which velocities of up to 41,000 feet per second are obtainable in air. At these high velocities stagnation temperatures of about 35,000K are produced. The simple construction and operation of the shock tube is described and an evaluation is made of its performance. The potentialities and limitations of the apparatus are discussed with regards to research applications. The results of some magnetoaerodynamic studies are presented to show the usefulness of this type of shock tube. (Author).
