Abstract

This paper describes theoretical and experimental studies for induction velometry in a shock wave. The induced potential gradient profiles across the shock is obtained with an assumption that the velocity of the charged particles is given by Mott-Smith's result. The calculated result of the induced potential gradient shows that it is not proportional to the velocity of the charged particles, since eddy currents are also induced by the existence of non-uniform velocity through the shock. The induced potential gradient is measured across the shock produced by a shock holder. This result is compared with the theoretical result. The experimental result shows that the charged particles follow the Rankine-Hugoniot relation in the velocity.
