Propagation of a Weak Oblique Shock through a fusing Gas Mixture

The propagation of a weak oblique shock, such as that generated by a supersonic projectile, through a two-component diffusing gas mixture, has been investigated analytically. A linearized ray analysis has disclosed that a two-branched caustic, with associated arête, is formed. The arête and caustic...

Zusammenfassung:The propagation of a weak oblique shock, such as that generated by a supersonic projectile, through a two-component diffusing gas mixture, has been investigated analytically. A linearized ray analysis has disclosed that a two-branched caustic, with associated arête, is formed. The arête and caustic positions have been found as functions of diffusion time, initial Mach number, and molecular weight ratio.
