Numerical Study of the Motions of Variously-Shaped Slabs Accelerated by a Hot Gas

Abstract

Numerical computations have been performed to determine the motion of a two-dimensional slab of initially- cold gas accelerated by a hot gas. The cold-gas slab had a sequence of holes, flanges, or other perturbations to its otherwise straight, parallel, infinite bounding walls. In formation is also presented regarding pertinent characteristics of the computing method.
