Shock tube test time limitation due to premature arrival of contact surface is analytically investigated for wholly turbulent-wall boundary layers; results are compared with those for wholly laminar-wall boundary layers; results are presented in nondimensional form so as to be applicable for arbitrary initial pressures and tube diameters; criteria are established to define when turbulent-wall and when laminar-wall boundary-layer theory is applicable; present solution is intended for case where wall boundary layer introduces sizable reductions in test time.
