REFLECTED SHOCK INITIATION OF A CHEMICAL REACTION

Abstract

The Lax finite difference method is used to compute the hydrodynamic flow which results from the initiation of a chemical reaction by a reflected shock wave. The chemical reaction is assumed to be irreversible and of first order; initial conditions are chosen such that negligible reaction occurs behind the incident shock front.
