A system of hyperbolic differential equations outlining one-dimensional planar, cylindrical symmetric and spherical symmetric flow of a relaxing gas with dust particles is considered. Singular surface theory used to study different aspects of wave propagation and its culmination to the steepened form. The evolutionary behavior of the characteristic shock is studied. A particular solution of the governing system of equations is used to discuss the steepened wave form, characteristic shock and their interaction. The results of the interaction between the steepened wave front and the characteristic shock using the general theory of wave interaction are discussed. Also, the influence of relaxation and dust parameters on the steepened wave front, the formation of a characteristic shock, reflected and transmitted waves after interaction and a jump in shock acceleration are investigated.
We investigate the interaction between a singular surface and a strong shock in the self-gravitating interstellar gas clouds with the assumption of spherical symmetry. Using the method of the Lie group of transformations, a particular solution of the flow variables and the cooling–heating function for an infinitely strong shock is obtained. This paper explores an application of the singular surface theory in the evolution of an acceleration wave front propagating through an unperturbed medium. We discuss the formation of an acceleration, considering the cases of compression and expansion waves. The influence of the cooling–heating function on a shock formation is explained. The results of a collision between a strong shock and an acceleration wave are discussed using the Lax evolutionary conditions.
