Re‐Examination of the Nonsteady Theory of Jet Formation by Lined Cavity Charges

摘要

A new type of analysis is applied to observations on jets from lined cavity charges in order to test the nonsteady‐state hydrodynamic theory of a jet formation. The results support previous findings that the theory is qualitatively accurate, but give evidence of departures from the ideal situation assumed in the theory. An attempt is made to assess one of the more likely sources of error, the neglect of acceleration of the liner.
