On reflection of shock waves and shock-wave configurations
Technical Physics Letters, 2008A new approach to the problem of unsteady reflection of shock waves is proposed. It is shown that the type and parameters of the shock wave reflection configuration depend on the type of an object (single shock versus shock-wave configuration) incident on the reflecting surface.

An approximate theory of shock dynamics is used to study the behaviour of converging cylindrical shocks. For cylindrical shocks with regular polygonal-shaped cross sections, exact solutions are found, showing that an original polygonal shape repeats at successive intervals with successive contractions in scale.

The first volume of the Journal of Fluid Mechanics contained nine articles (of 39) on shock waves. Some of these pioneered new branches of fluid mechanics. Others dealt with older problem areas. Surprising is one's realization that important elements of all topics are still of current interest.

A general theory is developed for obtaining the tangential and normal derivatives of thermodynamic and kinematic properties just downstream of a curved, unsteady shock wave. The flow upstream of the shock need not be steady or uniform and the gas need not be thermally or calorically perfect.

We discuss the physics of shock waves with special emphasis on the phenomena related to the field of nonlinear fiber optics. We first introduce the general mechanism commonly known as gradient catastrophe and the related concept of classical shock waves.

The D’yakov work which deals with a shock that undergoes a slight disturbance is re−examined. Under a linear analysis the growth of perturbations is examined and this produces inequality restrictions for the shock to be stable. It is found that the shock is unstable for j2(dv/dp)H 〈−1 and j2(dv/dp)H〉 1 + 2M, where M is the Mach number of the shock with

The discontinuity planes of the Riemann curvature tensorRklmi in the Einsteinian vacuumRkl=0 are isotropic hypersurfaces. These surfaces are to be conceived as being constructed of lightlike geodesics, which form, in the eikonal approximation, gravitational radiation.

AbstractA fully instrumented microscale shock tube, believed to be the smallest to date, has been fabricated and tested. This facility is used to study the transmission of a shock wave, produced in a large (37 mm) shock tube, into a 34 $\mathrm{\mu} \mathrm{m} $hydraulic diameter and 2 mm long microchannel. Pressure microsensors of a novel design, with

Publisher Summary This chapter discusses effect of propagation of disturbances in a moving gas. When the velocity of a fluid in motion becomes comparable with or exceeds that of sound, effects resulting from the compressibility of the fluid become of prime importance. The dynamics of high-speed flow is usually called gas dynamics. The flow of a gas is
