Shock Waves in Dusty Gas with Radiation Effects

Abstract

The jump conditions across a three dimensional curved shock in dusty gas with radiation have been derived. The general Rankine-Hugoniot relations for a three dimensional curved shock in dusty gas with radiation are investigated. These relations differ considerably from those without radiation effects. The most important parameter is the ratio of radiation pressure to the pressure of the mixture (gas+dust), ie the radiation pressure number Rp. The successive approximations have been used for different cases depending upon the value of radiation pressure number. In certain cases, the result. may be expressed in terms of an effective ratio of specific heats and an effective dusty gas pressure. A general method of solution is given and some numerical results are obtained.
