Inviscid flow of radiation dusty gas dynamics

A study of the effects of radiation pressure and radiation energy on the high-temperature flow of an ideal, radiating dusty gas shows the most important parameter to be the ratio of radiation pressure to the pressure of the gas-dust mixture, expressed as the radiation pressure number R(p). New phenomena are noted in the specified conditions, in addition to others that are similar to those of ordinary gas dynamics. It is found that the maximum velocity achievable by a dusty gas from a given stagnation condition depends on stagnation temperature and density and on the concentration of dust particles in the gas. The temperature jump across a normal shock is proportional to the square root of the shock Mach number.
