STUDY OF NONEQUILIBRIUM PHENOMENA IN SHOCK WAVES

Abstract

A survey is presented of the basic methods and the results of theoretical and experimental study of the various relaxation phenomena in shock waves. A theoretical examination of the equilibrium establishment is discussed according to individual degrees of freedom; the examination is made on the basis of the kinetic theory of gases. The experimental study of the state of the gas in shock waves is then discussed. The method using shock tubes is examined. Only endothermic processes in gases are examined. (Author)
