Abstract

The behaviour of shock waves in a vapour-liquid medium of bubble structure was studied. The general laws of a wave process were established, basic similarity criteria were determined. The existence of different propagation regimes of the pressure waves was revealed. The feasibility of the formation of steep shock waves of monotonous or oscillatory structure in a boiling liquid was shown. The condition for the existence of such shock waves in a vapour-liquid medium was determined.
