Abstract
The process of reflection of shock waves (SW) from a solid wall in a two-component mixture of condensed materials is studied within the framework of mechanics of heterogeneous media. The velocity of a reflected SW and the values of the parameters behind its front are analytically determined as functions of the velocity of the incident wave and the initial parameters of the mixture. It is shown that the absolute value of the velocity of the reflected SW can be greater than the velocity of the incident SW in mixtures with a small content of the light component and at low velocities of the incident shock wave. The nonmonotonic character of the dependence of pressure in the final equilibrium state behind the incident SW on the initial volume concentration of particles is demonstrated. The velocity of the incident SW is estimated for the case where a similar effect is also observed behind a reflected SW. It is established that, for weak shock waves, the dependence of the amplification factor of the reflected SW on the initial volume concentration of the light component is nonmonotonic and has a local maximum. It is noted that, as the velocity of the incident SW increases, the effect of compacting of the mixture (increase in concentration of the heavy component) behind the reflected SW becomes much less pronounced than in a passing SW.
