Abstract

The propagation of strong normal shock waves into quiescent argon gas seeded with water droplet is studied. For evaluating the effect of the water droplets on the post shock-wave flow field, i.e., the relaxation zone, the conservation equations appropriate to a steady, one-dimensional suspension flow are formulated and solved numerically. The solution, carried out for a range ofshock Mach numbers 13 ≤ M ≤ 17 and a few different values for the water droplet concentration, indicates that the presence of the water droplets has a significant effect on the extent of the relaxation zone and on the values obtained for the flow properties throughout this zone.
