Research Abstract |
Mathematical and engineering study of shock waves in condensed matter (liquid and solid) was successfully carried out. In particular, the following subjects were analyzed and clarified in detail by means of theoretical and numerical methods: (1) Studies of the Rankine-Hugoniot relations (i.e., relations among the discontinuous quantities) for shock waves in condensed matter and of the shock structure. And the study of their thermal and mechanical properties. (2) Thermodynamic study of phase transitions induced by shock waves. (3) Studies of the interaction between shock waves and acceleration waves, and of their stability.
