Abstract:
Expressions for components of the vorticity vector behind a curvilinear shock or detonation wave propagating in a supersonic nonuniform flow of a combustible gas are derived. Plane and axisymmetric gas flows are considered. The free stream in the general case is a vortex flow with a specified distribution of parameters. Formulas for the vorticity components in the plane of the flow for axisymmetric flows are found to have the same form as formulas for steady axisymmetric flows. As in the case of steady flows, the normal-to-wave component of vorticity is demonstrated to remain continuous across the discontinuity surface; in the case of axisymmetric flows, the ratio of the tangential component of vorticity aligned in the plane of the flow to density also remains continuous, though the quantities themselves become discontinuous.
