Abstract

The governing equations describing the flow field which results when a dust-gas suspension passes through a normal shock wave were nondimensionalized. The nondimensionalization resulted in a set of nondimensional groups of parameters which, if kept constant, lead to a self-similar solution. An investigation of these nondimensional groups of parameters revealed, for example, that the relaxation length depends linearily on the material density of the solid particles. Dependence of the relaxation length on the other parameters of thd dust is discussed.
