Being non-electrical and non-metallic, shock tubes are less sensitive to static electricity and explosive gas mixture has the additional advantage of being entirely inert until the tubing is charged with the gas.

He was brought back for the 1994-95 academic year to direct Stanford's Aero-Astro Shock Tube Laboratory and its Summer Faculty Fellowship Program, co-sponsored by NASA and the American Society for Engineering Education.

He was responsible for developing the shock tube as a means to study flames and combustion, and was elected a fellow of the Royal Society of London in 1953 and in 1960 awarded their Rumford Medal.

The diagram opposite shows a 2nd order solution to G A Sod's shock tube problem ( Sod, 1978 ) using the above high resolution Kurganov and Tadmor Central Scheme ( KT ) with Linear Extrapolation and Ospre limiter.

Compressed-gas driven shock tubes are more easily obtained and maintained in laboratory conditions; however, the shape of the pressure wave is different from a blast wave in some important respects and may not be suitable for some applications.

McVeigh rented a storage space, in which he stockpiled seven crates of Tovex sausages, 80 spools of shock tube, and 500 electric blasting caps, which he and Nichols had stolen from a Martin Marietta Aggregates quarry in Marion, Kansas.
37.
A Study shows that not only is the shear layer outside of the shock tube affected by the plasma but the passage of the shock front and high-speed flow behind it also greatly influences the properties of the plasma
38.
Thus, shock tubes can be used as a tool used to both create and direct blast waves at a sensor or an object in order to imitate actual explosions and the damage that they cause on a smaller scale.

The diagram opposite shows a 3rd order solution to G A Sod's shock tube problem ( Sod, 1978 ) using the above high resolution Kurganov and Tadmor Central Scheme ( KT ) but with parabolic reconstruction and van Albada limiter.

An "'expansion tube "'is a type of impulse facility that is conceptually similar to a shock tube with a secondary diaphragm, an expansion section, a test section, and a dump tank where the endwall would be located in a shock tube.
