ME 355: Compressible Flows, Spring 2016
Stanford University
Homework 4: Wave motion
Due Tuesday, May 31, in class.
Guidelines: Please turn in a neat and clean homework that gives all the formulae that you have used
as well as details that are required for the grader to understand your solution, Attach these sheets to
your solutions. Assume = 1.4 and ¢ = 1 KJ/K@K for all problems.

at pressure Fy and density fy. The cylinder is surrounded by air at pressure Py < Py. 0,
a pyrotecnie tem breaks the righcend wall ofthe dics thatthe gas start owigg ont ofthe
cylinder. This problem addresses the dynamics shortly after rupture of the rightend wall during times
of arder L/ap, where ay is the speed of sound in the gas. Depending on the value of the overpressure
= (Py — P,)/Fa, the disturbanoes produced in the gas may be small (¢ < 1), so that the linear
‘acoustics theory is applicable, or large (¢ = O(1)), in which case the linear approximation is no longer
valid and the non-linear acoustics formulation needs to be employed.
Consider frst the case in which the air pressure differs slightly from the pressure of the gas in the
cylinder, €= (Fy ~ Py)/Po-€ 1
a) Compute the velocity of the gas at the cylinder exit Us
bb) Calculate the force on the cylinder.
) Characterize the spatial profiles of velocity and pressure inside the eylinder during the time interval
