| Abstract: | The nature of the propagation of shock waves in various media is related to the characteristics of the latter, including their compressibility, thermophysical properties, the presence of multiple phases, etc. The structure of a shock wave varies appreciably as a function of the properties of the medium. The most significant property of a liquid mixture with gas bubbles is the compressibility of the latter under the influence of an externally applied pressure, for example, in a shock wave propagating in the liquid—gas medium. The transfer of momentum and energy between phases and the pressure variation behind the wave depends on the behavior of the gas bubbles behind the shock front. |
