Non-similar solutions of imploding shocks and detonations.

This report presents an analytical treatment of the non-uniform propagation of symmetrical imploding shocks and detonations in an initially undisturbed medium. In particular, cylindrical shocks and detonations are studied in detail. Throughout the analysis, heat transfer and viscous effects are negl...

Description
Summary:This report presents an analytical treatment of the non-uniform propagation of symmetrical imploding shocks and detonations in an initially undisturbed medium. In particular, cylindrical shocks and detonations are studied in detail. Throughout the analysis, heat transfer and viscous effects are neglected and a perfect gas with constant ratio of specific heats is considered. [...]
