Abstract This paper presents the development of mathematical model to obtain the approximate analytical solutions for isothermal flows behind the strong shock (blast) wave in a van der Waals gas and small solid particles mixture. The small solid particles are continuously distributed in the mixture and the equilibrium conditions for flow are maintained. To derive the analytical solutions, the physical variables such as density, pressure, and velocity are expanded using perturbation method in power series. The solutions are derived in analytical form for first approximation, and for second order approximation the set of differential equations are also obtained. The effects of an increase in the problem parameters value on the physical variables are investigated for first order approximation. A comparison is also, made between the solution of cylindrical shock and spherical shock. It is found that the fluid density and fluid pressure become zero near the point or axis of symmetry in spherical or cylindrical symmetry, respectively, and therefore a vacuum is created near the point or axis of symmetry which is in tremendous conformity with the physical condition in laboratory to generate the shock wave.

An application of the nonlinear saturation control (NSC) algorithm for a self-excited strongly nonlinear beam structure driven by an external force is presented in the paper. The mathematical model accounts for an Euler-Bernoulli beam with nonlinear curvature, reduced to first mode oscillations. It is assumed that the beam vibrates in the presence of a harmonic excitation close to the first natural frequency of the beam, and additionally the beam is self-excited by fluid flow, which is modelled by a nonlinear Rayleigh term for self-excitation. The self- and externally excited vibrations have been reduced by the application of an active, saturation-based controller. The approximate analytical solutions for a full structure have been found by the multiple time scales method, up to the first-order approximation. The analytical solutions have been compared with numerical results obtained from direct integration of the ordinary differential equations of motion. Finally, the influence of a negative damping term and the controller's parameters for effective vibrations suppression are presented.

Abstract The approximate analytical solutions are obtained for adiabatic and isothermal flows behind a cylindrical shock wave in a dusty gas. A mixture of perfect gas and micro size small inert solid particles is taken as the dusty gas. The inert solid particles are distributed continuously in the mixture. It is considered that the equilibrium flow conditions are maintained. The flow variables are expanded in power series to obtain the solution of the problem. The analytical solutions are obtained for the first order approximation in both the adiabatic and isothermal cases. Also, the system of ordinary differential equations for second order approximations to the solution is obtained. The influence of an increase in the ratio of the density of the inert solid particles to the initial density of the perfect gas, the rotational parameter and the mass concentration of inert solid particles in the mixture are discussed on the flow variables for first approximation. Our first approximation to the solution corresponds to the Taylor’s solution for the creation of a blast wave by a strong explosion. A comparison is also made between the solutions for isothermal and adiabatic flows. It is investigated that the density and pressure near the line of symmetry in the case of isothermal flow become zero and hence a vacuum is formed at the axis of symmetry when the flow is isothermal. Also, it is found that an increase in the value of rotational parameter or the mass concentration of solid particles in the mixture has a decaying effect on shock wave. The present work may be used to verify the correctness of the solution obtained by self-similarity and numerical methods.

The gasdynamic problem of collapsing shocks and detonation waves having spherical or cylindrical symmetry is considered near the point or axis of symmetry. The solution basic to this work is the self-similar flow of a collopsing symmetrical shock wave with counterpressure neglected. The focusing effect as the flow progresses causes the front to accelerate and its velocity is singular at the instant of collapse. In the present work the perturbations, due to counter-pressure and also to a uniform heat release, which give rise to essentially identical mathematical solutions, are evaluated. The basic self-similar solution is investigated in detail over a range of values of the specific heat ratio.

Abstract The approximate analytical solution for the propagation of gas ionizing cylindrical blast (shock) wave in a rotational axisymmetric non-ideal gas with azimuthal or axial magnetic field is investigated. The axial and azimuthal components of fluid velocity are taken into consideration and these flow variables, magnetic field in the ambient medium are assumed to be varying according to the power laws with distance from the axis of symmetry. The shock is supposed to be strong one for the ratio C 0 V s 2 ${\left(\frac{{C}_{0}}{{V}_{s}}\right)}^{2}$ to be a negligible small quantity, where C 0 is the sound velocity in undisturbed fluid and V S is the shock velocity. In the undisturbed medium the density is assumed to be constant to obtain the similarity solution. The flow variables in power series of C 0 V s 2 ${\left(\frac{{C}_{0}}{{V}_{s}}\right)}^{2}$ are expanded to obtain the approximate analytical solutions. The first order and second order approximations to the solutions are discussed with the help of power series expansion. For the first order approximation the analytical solutions are derived. In the flow-field region behind the blast wave the distribution of the flow variables in the case of first order approximation is shown in graphs. It is observed that in the flow field region the quantity J 0 increases with an increase in the value of gas non-idealness parameter or Alfven-Mach number or rotational parameter. Hence, the non-idealness of the gas and the presence of rotation or magnetic field have decaying effect on shock wave.

Arc Discharges

The measurement of the high gas temperatures associated with arc discharges requires special techniques. One such method, developed by Suits (1935), depends on the measure­ment of the velocity of a sound wave passing through an arc column, although in fact Suits measured the velocity of a very weak shock wave. The new method described in the present paper is one in which temperatures are determined from the measurement of the velocity of a relatively strong shock wave propagated through an arc. The new method has the merit of consistently producing accurately measurable records and of increasing the accuracy of the temperature determination. The shock velocities are measured by means of a rotating mirror camera. Within the arc, the shock propagation is observable by virtue of the increased arc brightness produced by the shock. In the non-luminous regions surrounding the arc, the shock propagation is displayed by means of a Schlieren system. The interpretation of the measurements depends upon a one-dimensional analysis given in this paper which is similar to that of Chisnell (1955) and which describes the interaction of a plane shock with a con­tinuously varying temperature distribution. In our analysis account is taken also of the continuous variation in specific heats and molecular weight which are of importance under high gas temperature conditions. In practice plane wave theory cannot adequately describe the shock propagation, since attenuation occurs both in the free gas and in the arc column. The effects of this attenuation on the temperature determinations may be accounted for by the use of an experimentally determined attenuation relationship given in the paper. The finally developed method yields temperature values to an accuracy of ± 2%. Experiments are described for carbon and tungsten arcs in air and nitrogen for currents up to 55 amperes and pressures up to 3 atmospheres. The values obtained range from 6200 to 7700° K and are in good agreement with values determined by other techniques.
