Extract

The purpose of this note is to report some recent observations of the tailoring conditions for combustion driven shock waves and to offer explanations for two distinctly different pressure histories recorded during the combustion process.

The technique of initiating strong waves utilising combustible driver gas mixtures, such as stoichiometric hydrogen and oxygen with a helium diluent, is now well established, see Gaydon and Hurle.
