Abstract

The decay of an arbitrary discontinuity and the reflection of a fan of rarefaction waves from a fixed wall in dissociating nitrogen tetroxide are considered. The system of the equations of gas dynamics and the equation of the conservation of the mass of component i have been integrated numerically by MacCormack's method. It is shown that the kinetics has a significant influence on the characteristics of a shock wave and a contact discontinuity.
