Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Simplified Description of Spherical and Cylindrical Blast Waves
The purpose of the present analysis is to demonstrate the possibility of obtaining a satisfactory description of the initial phases of spherical and cylindrical blasts, without having to go through a numerical integration of the Eulerian or Lagrangian flow equations. Tb accomplish this, some recent developments in shock dynamics are used and extended where necessary. In addition, a technique has been devised by which it is possible to give the motion of a contact front in terms of flow properties carried to the front by the characteristics meeting it. It is hoped that some of these results may be applicable to the numerical integration of general flow equations, whose solutions contain moving boundaries such as shocks and contact fronts.
