Two-Dimensional Diverging Shocks in a Nonuniform Medium

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1195· OSTI ID:1195

An analytic solution is derived from the time evolution of a two- dimensional diverging shock in r - z geometry. The shock propagates through a condensed medium characterized by a Mie-Gruneisen equation of state with a nonzero density gradient in the axial direction.
