Non-linear wave phenomena in a gas-vapour mixture with phase transition
Abstract
An experimental and theoretical investigation of two types of gasdynamic flow with phase transition is reported. The flow phenomena studied are: the unsteady nonlinear rarefaction wave in a gas-vapor mixture with stimulated condensation on foreign particles added to the mixture; and the shock wave in a fog, which causes the evaporation of droplets that are presented. The structure of these types of waves, influenced by the phase transitions processs, was investigated and the validity of models to describe droplet formation and growth was established.
