Propagation of Shock Waves in a Non-Ideal Dusty Gas with Heat Radiation

Abstract

In present problem a similarity solution for the propagation of spherical shock wave in a mixture of non-ideal gas and small solid particles with heat radiation flux is obtained. In course of derivation solid particles are considered as pseudo-fluid and the equilibrium flow condition is assumed to be maintained. The total energy of the shocked gas (between shock front and the inner expanding surface) is assumed to be increasing with time. The effects due to presence of non-idealness parameter, the mass concentration of the solid particles and volumetric extension of the solid particles are investigated in presence of heat radiation.
