Abstract: The flow field developed behind shock waves in a pure gaseous medium is well known and documented in all gasdynamics textbooks. This is not the case when the gaseous medium is seeded with ...

Abstract: The propagation of a normal shock wave into a quiescent oxygen gas seeded with carbon particles is studied. Due to the elevated postshock temperature the carbon particles ignite and burn until ...

Abstract: The propagation of strong normal shock waves into quiescent argon gas seeded with water droplet is studied. For evaluating the effect of the water droplets on the post shock-wave flow field, ...

Abstract: A parametric study was conducted regarding the effects of the initial carbon concentration, the initial carbon particle diameter, the shock wave Mach number and the preshock suspension pressure ...

Abstract: The flow in a converging-diverging nozzle is studied numerically. The flowing medium is a suspension composed of gas seeded with small, spherical, solid particles. The solution covers the entire ...

Abstract: The reflection of planar shock waves from straight wedges in dust-gas suspensions is investigated numerically. The GRP shock capturing scheme and the MacCormac scheme are applied to solve the ...

Abstract: Using conduits in which a transmitted shock wave experiences abrupt changes in its direction of propagation is an effective means for shock wave attenuation. An additional attenuation of the ...

Abstract: While a lot of attention was given to shock wave reflections from wedges during the past four decades, only little work was published regarding the similar case of blast wave reflection from ...

Abstract: The flow developed behind shock wave transmitted through a screen or a perforated plat is initially highly unsteady and nonuniform. It contains multiple shock reflections and interactions with ...
