Abstract

Shock relations usually found in literatures are derived theoretically under the assumption of homogeneous thermodynamic properties, i.e., constant ratio of specific heats, γ. However, high temperature effects post a strong shock wave may result in thermodynamic heterogeneities and failure to the original shock relations. In this paper, the shock relations are extended to take account of high-temperature effects. Comparison indicates that the present approach is more feasible than other analytical approaches to reflect the influence of γ heterogeneity on the post-shock parameters.
