Method of calculation of satellite flow parameters behind the point of Mach reflection

Abstract

A mathematical model for the calculation and express analysis of triple configurations of air shock waves arising from an “elevated” explosion of a condensed high-energy material is presented. The considered blast waves with a long duration of the positive phase (compression phase) can take place in industrial and agricultural applications: in the explosion of fuel-air mixtures, explosive dust in elevators and granaries, as well as high-energy materials for agricultural and industrial applications based on ammonium nitrate and explosive saltpetre mixtures with petroleum products. The developed mathematical model uses exact and semi-empirical relationships developed earlier in the theory of optimal shock wave systems.
