Abstract
The propagation of weak shock waves and the conditions for their existence in a gas-liquid medium are studied in [1]. The article [2] is devoted to an examination of powerful shock waves in liquids containing gas bubbles. The possibility of the existence in such a medium of a shock wave having an oscillatory pressure profile at the front is demonstrated in [3] based on the general results of nonlinear wave dynamics. It is shown in [4, 5] that a shock wave in a gas-liquid mixture actually has a profile having an oscillating pressure. The drawback of [3–5] is the necessity of postulating the existence of the shock waves. This is connected with the absence of a direct calculation of the dissipative effects in the fundamental equations. The present article is devoted to the theoretical and experimental study of the structure of a shock wave in a gas-liquid medium. It is shown, within the framework of a homogeneous biphasic model, that the structure of the shock wave can be studied on the basis of the Burgers-Korteweg-de Vries equation. The results of piezoelectric measurements of the pressure profile along the shock wave front agree qualitatively with the theoretical representations of the structure of the shock wave.
