shock wave			Zhang recruited undergraduate student Haoyue Wang to help with the project, in which the researchers used a shock tube apparatus similar to the one Zhang had used in previous experiments on explosive volcanic eruptions. Coal-mining outbursts resemble explosive volcanic eruptions by Asian News International Chapters in this section present the general equations governing the reactive flows; examine shock waves, unsteady flows, boundary layers, inviscid and dissipative reactive flows, shock tubes, and shock tunnels; and interpret the experimental results concerning relaxation times, vibrational populations, and reaction rates.
