Shock Tube Model
Through optical means you can observe the flow and model the action of shocks. A pressurized tube of this type can store substantial amounts of energy, allowing for the study of quite violent flows—albeit for only very short periods.
This model studies the phenomena of shock waves in side a shock tube, by setting up a model that solves for the pressure and the velocity inside the tube.
