| Abstract: | A study is made of the influence of a transverse pressure gradient on the mixing of reacting jets of fluorine and hydrogen. The real picture is simulated by a system of simplified Navier-Stokes equations. A comparison is made with calculations based on the complete Navier-Stokes equations and also boundary layer equations. Features of the shock waves are analyzed under conditions of strong heat release in the mixing layer. The influence of these features on the gain in laser situations is considered.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 18–23, May–June, 1982.We thank G. N.
