Abstract:519Shock waves propagating in inhomogeneous media of various types are traditional objects for investigation in fluid dynamics. The presence of inhomogeneities in front of a shock wave can lead to modification of the flow structure, attenuation or enhancement of the wave, separation of the boundary layer, and curvature of the shock front. Another important effect is the for mation of new structures such as secondary shock waves, jets, precursors, and vortices. Artem'ev et al.[1] showed that, after passage of a… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
