Advantages
Low construction cost.
Superior design for propulsion and smoke
visualization. There is no accumulation of exhaust
products in an open tunnel
Disadvantages
Poor flow quality possible in the test section
High operating costs
Noisy operation

Advantages
High Mach capability
Lower construction and operating costs.
Superior design for propulsion and smoke visualization
Smaller loads on model during startup because of faster
starts
Disadvantages
Shorter test times require faster (often more expensive)
instrumentation.
Need for pressure regulator valves.
Noisy operation.

Shock Tube
used to study aerodynamic flow under a wide
range of temperatures and pressures that are difficult
to obtain in other types of testing facilities;
are also used to investigate compressible flow
phenomena and gas phase combustion reactions
