Abstract: | A study is made of the perturbed flow of a gas, brought about by a weak shock wave, falling on a fixed surface at an arbitrary angle. A solution determining the field of the velocities behind the front of the wave in an initially boundary-value problem with movable boundaries for a three-dimensional wave equation is obtained in the form of a double integral, containing an arbitrarily given function determining the parameters of the gas in the incident wave. The region of integration is a region included within an ellipse, whose relative eccentricity is equal to the sine of the angle of inclination of the front of the incident wave. A formula is obtained for the distribution of the pressure at the plane.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 1, pp. 114–116, January–February, 1975. |
