BURNETT MODELS OF THE STRUCTURE OF A STRONG SHOCK WAVE IN A BINARY MIXTURE OF MONATOMIC GASES

摘要

The applicability of the complete and modified systems of Burnett's equations for problems on the structure of a strong shock wave in a binary mixture of monatomic gases are investigated. The results of calculations using the establishment method are compared with the results of calculations based on the Navier-Stokes equations and results obtained by direct statistical modelling. The limiting laws of intermolecular interaction (Maxwellian molecules and molecules treated as elastic spheres) are used.
