Structure of shock waves in dusty gases
Abstract
An analytical model is developed for the structure of a normal shock wave in a shock tube containing both particulate matter and gas. Governing equations are defined for continuity, momentum and energy conservation in the gas-particle mixture, along with an equation of state for the mixture and the momentum and heat balance of the particles. Boundary and equilibrium conditions are also provided and results are presented from computations which featured varying drag and heat transfer coefficients. Sample results are provided in the form of particle velocities and temperature as functions of distance behind the shock front.
