Interaction of a characteristic shock with a weak discontinuity in a relaxing gas

Abstract: The evolution of a characteristic shock in a relaxing gas is investigated and its interaction with a weak discontinuity is studied. A particular solution to the governing system, which exhibits space-time dependence, is used to study the evolutionary behaviour of the characteristic shock; the properties of incident, reflected and transmitted waves, influenced by the relaxation mechanism, together with the geometry of the fluid flow and the background state at the rear of the shock, are studied.

“…Typically weak discontinuities are solutions that admit a jump in the first derivative of the solution across the characteristic curve which propagates at the local characteristic speed. Let us assume that the C1 discontinuity is moving along the fastest characteristic dxdt=u+c. Then, the transport equation for the C1 discontinuity is given by bfalse(3false){}dnormalΩdt+()double-struckQx+normalΩ()μfalse(3false)normalΩ+()()bfalse(3false)normalΩtrddouble-struckQdt+()bfalse(3false)normalΩ()()μfalse(3false)double-struckQx+μxfalse(3false)()()bfalse(3false)Nfalse(double-struckQfalse)normalΩ=0, where normalΩ=ϕfalse(tfalse)dfalse(3false) represents the jump in double-struckQx across the C1 discontinuity that is collinear to the right eigenvector dfalse(3false) and ϕfalse(tfalse) is the amplitude of the discontinuity wave.

“…Boillat and Ruggeri discussed the influence of an incident wave on a strong shock when it is free to propagate. Interaction between blast wave and weak wave in the context of planar and radially symmetric flows has been discussed by Radha et al In previous studies, authors studied the collision of weak discontinuity with characteristic shock for various physical problems. Minhajul and Raja Sekhar discussed collision between weak discontinuity and elementary waves of Riemann problem for the multiphase flows.…”

“…Radha et al 2 and Jena 3 used the general theory, which was developed by Brun 4 and Jeffrey 5 to study the problems of wave interactions. One‐dimensional impact of elementary waves for unsteady flow of different gases and two‐phase flows, which yield more rich results, we refer to works studied in previous studies 6‐9 and the references cited therein. Propagation and interaction of different type of non‐linear waves in the reactive mixture of ideal gases have been analyzed by Singh and Jena 10‐13 and in context of non‐ideal relaxing gas previous studies 14,15 .…”

“…The relaxation mechanism in gas is basically the rate of process of attaining equilibrium through nonequilibrium which occurs due to some external forces and the time taken to get the equilibrium state back is known as the relaxation time [29][30][31]. In general, the energy in a gas molecule is distributed among translational modes, vibrational modes, and rotational modes.…”
