Interaction of shock waves with area of the non-equilibrium in vibrationally excited gas

Abstract

On the basis of numerical solution of the equations of gas dynamics of non-equilibrium medium the penetration of a shock wave in the area of non-equilibrium gas was investigated. The splitting of the shock wave front in a shock and heat waves was observed, it qualitatively coincides with the experimental results, obtained by A.I. Klimov.
