Abstract

Near-critical states are obtained behind reflected liquefaction shock and rarefaction waves in shock tube experiments. Thermodynamic properties C _ν, c, and Γ (nonlinearity coefficient) are determined using a near-critical, linear parametric equation of state, and the possibility of rarefaction shocks are investigated based on these results. The power law behavior of C _ν as predicted by the parametric EOS is incorporated into a BWR type classical EOS using a switching function. Hence a single EOS, valid over an extended temperature range, can be used in shock calculations with reasonably accurate predictions in the critical region.
