Weak shock waves propagating in fluid-gas mixtures
Abstract
The structure of a weak normal shock wave is investigated analytically for the one-dimensional flow of a fluid, containing gas bubbles. The relative motion of the gas bubbles follow a Stokes-drag law. It is shown that for large values of time the gas bubbles behave isothermally and the shock wave approaches a steady state. For small values of time the gas bubbles behave isentropically and move faster than the fluid.
