Computations of the refraction of a plane shock wave at a slow-fast gas interface.

摘要

We present an example of our computations on a shock wave refracting from CO(sub 2) into CH(sub 4). The results are compared with the experiments of Abdel-Fattah and Henderson. Our input data were the same as the parameters they measured and we used the same boundaries. We also took into account the mutual gas contamination present in the experiments and the effects of a separating membrane. All the principal properties of a free-precursor refraction were detected. 6 refs., 4 figs., 1 tab.
