The numerical investigation of the gas-particle flow in the shock tube is conducted using the continuum model (Two-Fluid model) and the discrete particle model (CFD-DEM). From calculated results of both methods, particles are concentrated at downstream edge of particle bed and dispersed at upstream edge of particle bed with the passage of time. The incident shock wave is divided into the reflected shock and the transmitted shock because of interactions with particles. These flow field can be observed in the experiment conducted by Rogue et al., and Two-Fluid model and CFD-DEM can qualitatively reproduce the interaction phenomena between shock wave and particles. In the experiment, the pressure oscillations behind the reflected and the transmitted shock wave are observed as well as CFD-DEM, but no oscillation is seen in Two-Fluid model. Therefore, Two-Fluid model can qualitatively reproduce the interaction phenomena of shock wave and particles qualitatively, although the behavior of individual particle is neglected in the model.
