TL;DR: In this article, a constrained reaction volume strategy for conducting kinetics experiments behind reflected shock waves is proposed, which eliminates the possibility of non-localized (remote) ignition in shock tubes.

TL;DR: An experimental study on the influence of a plasma on the structure of an attached conical shock front appearing at the front end of a missile-shaped model has been carried out in a Mach-2.5 flow as mentioned in this paper.
Abstract: An experimental study on the influence of a plasma on the structure of an attached conical shock front appearing at the front end of a missile-shaped model has been carried out in a Mach-2.5 flow. The tip and the body of the model are designed as the cathode and anode for gaseous discharge, which produces a spraylike plasma moving around the tip. It is observed that the plasma has caused the shock front to separate from the model. The shock wave moves upstream in the form of a detached bow shock a sensible distance away from the model tip. The detached shock front appears to be highly dispersed in its new location as seen in the shadow video graphs of the flow. As the discharge current increases, experimental evidence shown in the video further reveals a distinct state of the flow without the presence of any shock wave.

TL;DR: In this paper, a light-pulse-transmiting light guide and a converter are arranged at the distal light guide end and the ionization surface is obliquely sloped with respect to the beaming axis of the impinging light pulse.
Abstract: A shock wave generator for the fragmentation of concrements, having a light-pulse-transmiting light guide and a converter arranged at the distal light guide end and having an ionization surface which, when a light pulse impinges, initiates a shock wave in the surrounding fluid, as well as having a shock wave outlet zone. In order to increase its efficiency and durability, the generator is constructed such that the ionization surface extends obliquely sloped with respect to the beaming axis of the impinging light pulse and the shock wave outlet zone is arranged in the direct shock wave beaming area of the ionization surface, thereby permitting a largely unhindered, low-loss propagation for the shock wave to the application point.
