Abstract
The problem of the shock-wave structure in a mixture of two compressible media with different velocities and pressures of components is considered. The problem is reduced to solving a boundary-value problem for two ordinary differential equations that describe the velocity relaxation and pressure equalization of the components. Using methods of the qualitative theory of dynamic systems on a plane, the existence and uniqueness of four types of waves are shown: (a) fully dispersed waves; (b) frozen-dispersed waves; (c) dispersed-frozen waves; (d) frozen waves of two-front configuration. A chart of solutions of the corresponding flow types is constructed in the plane of the following parameters: the initial velocity of the mixture and the initial volume concentration of one of the components. The numerical calculations conducted illustrate the obtained analytical structures of the shock wave. It is shown that the results obtained using the suggested mathematical model are in agreement with experimental data on the dependence of the velocity of the dispersed shock wave on the equilibrium pressure behind the shock-wave front for a mixture of silica sand and water.
