Behavior of Dusty Real Gas on Adiabatic Propagation of Cylindrical Imploding Strong Shock Waves

In this paper, CCW method has been used to study the behavior of dusty real gas on adiabatic propagation of cylindrical imploding strong shock waves. The strength of overtaking waves is estimated under the assumption that both C+ and C- disturbances propagate in non-uniform region of same density distribution. It is assumed that the dusty gas is the mixture of a real gas and a large number of small spherical solid particles of uniform size. The solid particles are uniformly distributed in the medium. Maintaining equilibrium flow conditions, the expressions for shock strength has been derived both for freely propagation as well as under the effect of overtaking disturbances. The variation of all flow variables with propagation distance, mass concentration of solid particles in the mixture and the ratio of solid particles to the initial density of gas have been computed and discussed through graphs. It is found that the presence of dust particles in the gases medium has significant effects on the variation of flow variables and the shock is strengthened under the influence of overtaking disturbances. The results accomplished here been compared with those for ideal gas.
