The evolution of a shock wave generated by a point explosion in a combustible medium
Abstract
The evolution of a peak energy release behind a shock front travelling in a combustible medium and generated by a strong point explosion was investigated. The problem was explored using self-similar solutions which exposed a group of heat release functions whose different combinations were studied.
