Analytical Study of Weak Shock Waves in Gas with dust particles

Abstract

In the present paper, the exact solution of quasilinear hyperbolic system of equations governing the propagation of weak shock waves in a one-dimensional dusty adiabatic gas flow with generalized geometries is derived. Here, the density behind the shock front is assumed to vary according to a power law of the distance. An analytical expression for the total energy carried by weak shock wave in dusty gas is also derived. © 2020, The National Academy of Sciences, India.
