| Abstract: | This article examines the flows of a two-phase mixture of a gas with solid particles arising as a result of the propagation of shock waves or detonation waves through a homogeneous medium at rest. It is assumed that the basic assumptions of the mechanics of mutually penetrating continua hold 1], whereby it is possible to describe the flow of each phase of the mixture within the framework of the mechanics of a continuous medium. We assume that the solid phase consists of identical, incompressible, and nondeformable particles of spherical shape. It is assumed that the temperature inside the particles is homogeneous. Collisions between particles and their Brownian motion are ignored. It is assumed that the carrier phase is an ideal gas (the viscosity is only allowed for in the interaction forces between phases). The contribution of the volume of the particles is not considered. On the basis of these assumptions, the following problems are considered: the propagation of a detonation wave in a mixture of a detonating gas and chemically inert particles and the motion of a dust-gas mixture in a shock tube in the presence of combustion of the particles.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 6. pp. 93–99, November–December, 1984. |
