Description

The isentropic unsteady expansion of the driver gas in a shock tube is made to pass through an MHD interaction. The interaction is tailored so as to produce a new isentropic unsteady expansion downstream with greater energy than the original, which will drive a new shock of greater but constant velocity. Illustrative examples are calculated.
