Abstract

In this paper, we consider the evolution and propagation of a characteristic shock through a reacting gas and studied its interaction with an acceleration wave. A particular solution to the governing system, which exhibits space-time dependence, has been considered to study the evolutionary behavior of the characteristic shock. The amplitudes of the reflected and transmitted waves and the jump in shock acceleration, influenced by the incident wave amplitude after interaction are evaluated.
