Summary One-dimensional expansion waves in 4 different shock tube driver geometries are investigated and compared. These are the plane wave in a straight tube and its reflection from a co-planar wall, the cylindrical wave in a wedge shaped duct and the spherical wave in a cone. Characteristics and pressure histories are computed for all cases. Pressure measurements in truncated cones are presented to check the predicted pressure histories for the spherical wave.
