This book provides an elementary introduction to one-dimensional
fluid flow problems involving shock waves in air. The differential
equations of fluid flow are approximated by finite difference
equations and these in turn are numerically integrated in a
stepwise manner, with artificial viscosity introduced into the
numerical calculations in order to deal with shocks. This treatment
of the subject is focused on the finite-difference approach to
solve the coupled differential equations of fluid flow and presents
the results arising from the numerical solution using Mathcad
programming. Both plane and spherical shock waves are discussed
with particular emphasis on very strong explosive shocks in air.
This expanded second edition features substantial new material on
sound wave parameters, Riemann's method for numerical integration
of the equations of motion, approximate analytical expressions for
weak shock waves, short duration piston motion, numerical results
for shock wave interactions, and new appendices on the piston
withdrawal problem and numerical results for a closed shock tube.
This text will appeal to students, researchers, and professionals
in shock wave research and related fields. Students in particular
will appreciate the benefits of numerical methods in fluid
mechanics and the level of presentation.
