Abstract

An approximate analytical solution is presented for the attenuation of planar shock waves in channels with perforated walls. The problem is considered as quasi-one-dimensional. Good agreement is found between the theoretical results and available experimental data regarding the rate of shock wave attenuation within the range of initial shock Mach numbers between 1.1 and 4 and perforation ratios between 4.5 × 10−3 and 0.53. A correlation for the discharge coefficient of a single hole perforation is presented which gives quantitatively good agreement with particular experimental observations.
