Description for Interaction of Shock Waves
Hardback. Deals with problems relating to the interaction of shock waves, with an emphasis on their diffraction. This book includes nine chapters that deal with the reflection of shock waves, the diffraction of normal and oblique shock waves, including the effects of yawed wedges, shock interaction with a moving aerofoil and arbitrary flat surfaces. Series: Fluid Mechanics and its Applications. Num Pages: 336 pages, biography. BIC Classification: PHDS; TGMF. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational; (UP) Postgraduate, Research & Scholarly. Dimension: 244 x 170 x 20. Weight in Grams: 653.
One of the great twentieth-century achievements in the mechanics of fluids was the full elucidation of the physics of shock waves and the later comprehensive development of understanding of how shock waves propagate (i) through otherwise undisturbed fluid and (ii) in interaction either with solid bodies or with independently generated fluid flows. The interaction problems (ii) were soon found to raise some very special difficulties (beginning with the common formation of "Mach stems" in shock-wave reflection) yet they also turned out to possess enormous scientific interest as well as being highly important in practical applications. For all these reasons the ... Read more
