A Study of Simple Waves

reportActive / Technical Report | Accession Number: ADA382285 | Open PDF

Abstract:

A method for construction of simple waves is presented. Attention is focused on forward-facing compression waves, specifically at the points at which shocks develop, and what to expect concerning shock strength, etc. Discussion is limited to gamma-law gases, although the technique is general.
