Shock wave in a gas–liquid bubble medium

The experimental research of shock wave creation in a supersonic flow of gas–liquid mixture ahead of the cylinder is investigated. The experimental set-up for the production of a supersonic flow of gas–liquid bubble media at different gas contents, Mach and Reynolds numbers is designed and built. The creation of shock wave and detachment of incident flow to the cylinder are considered. Dependences of the shock wave separation on the gas content and Reynolds number are measured.
