Abstract:
The equilibrium state of mixtures of gases with solid, incompressible, inert particles behind oblique shocks is analyzed theoretically, taking the finite volume of the dispersed phase into account. Equations are obtained for the limiting (maximum) angles of displacement of the flow of equilibrium mixtures behind strong and weak oblique shocks. The effect of the volume content of particles in the mixture on the limiting degree of compression of the gas when a plane shock is reflected from a rigid wall is studied.
