The radiation arising in the impact of a high-velocity gas against an obstacle
Abstract
A numerical solution is obtained to the radiative-gasdynamic problem of the impact of aluminum vapors against a wall at velocities between 30 and 70 km/sec. It is shown that thermal radiation of the plasma is the determining physical factor in the energy balance of the phenomenon under consideration. The computational results obtained indicate that this phenomenon can form the basis for developing sources of intense continuum emission in the visible and ultraviolet.
