Abstract
A hot wire anemometer can be used to obtain detailed information on the structure of time dependent unsteady flows typical of those produced by the passage of a shock wave along a discontinuous duct. As a timing device, it can also be used to measure the position of shock waves within the flow. When the duct is cylindrical the hot wire anemometer is perhaps the only instrument that can be used. This paper describes a particular application of a method of investigating the unsteady flow within a cylindrical shock tube with an abrupt expansion section. Construction of velocity isopleth diagrams which yield detailed information on the structure of the unsteady flow is also described.
