Shock and detonation wave in terms of view of the theory of interaction gasdynamic discontinuities

Abstract

Historical background is given to the development of the theory of interaction of stationary and non- stationary gas-dynamic discontinuities by scientific school of V.N. Uskov. References are given to the stage works that represent the results of research of interaction of stationary discontinuities in univariate shock wave traveling, oblique running waves, triple shock-wave configurations and, finally, time-dependent (non-stationary) triple configurations. Geometrical meaning of the equations of gas dynamics is shown. The concept of shock and detonation waves as the feature of representation of gas-dynamic characteristics space design is given. The theory given provides methodological principles of design of combustion chambers of jet engines with detonation combustion. (Uskov V.N., Bulat P.V.
