Theoretical and experimental investigations on shock waves in gas-solid flows
Abstract
As part of a liquid metal-magnetohydrodynamic conversion program shock waves in gas-solid flows, consisting of air and glass particles, were investigated theoretically and experimentally. A flow mechanical model for supercritical gas-solid flows was developed. The model was used to investigate the influence of the supercritical flow condition in front of the shock wave and the influence of the particle size on the change of the flow condition within a shock wave. Equipment to generate and measure shock waves in an air-glass particle flow was developed. Theory and experiments were compared and proposals for improvement of the flow model made.
