Abstract

Problems of the propagation of shock waves and strong detonation waves through ducts of variable cross-section and ducts with porous walls, and the interaction of a rarefaction wave with a shock and a contact surface in one-dimensional unsteady, or two-dimensional steady, flow are solved using a simple rule. Tables enclosed in this paper permit efficient calculation of several problems of non-uniform shock motion.
