Propagation of a cylindrical shock wave in a mixture of a non-ideal gas and small solid particles under the action of monochromatic radiation

Аннотация

A cylindrical shock wave in a dusty gas under the action of monochromatic radiation into the stellar atmosphere with a constant intensity per unit area is discussed. The gas is assumed to be grey and opaque, and the shock is assumed to be transparent. The dusty gas is considered as a mixture of a non-ideal gas and small solid particles. To obtain some essential features of shock propagation, small solid particles are considered as a pseudo-fluid, and it is assumed that the equilibrium flow condition is maintained in the entire flowfield. The effects of the parameters of the gas non-idealness, the mass concentration of solid particles in the mixture, the ratio of the density of solid particles to the initial density of the gas, and the radiation parameter on flow variables are investigated. It is shown that an increase in the gas non-idealness and the radiation parameter has a decaying effect on the shock waves, whereas the shock strength increases with an increase in the ratio of the density of solid particles to the initial density of the gas. It is found that an increase in the gas non-idealness and the ratio of the density of solid particles to the initial density of the gas has the opposite effects on the fluid velocity, pressure, and shock strength. It is also shown that an increase in the radiation parameter has a trend to decrease the flow variables and the shock strength.
