Abstract

In this paper, we consider the propagation of a shock wave from a pure gas into a heterogeneous mixture consisting of solid particles suspended in a gas and having an electric charge. The applied mathematical model takes into account the speed and thermal interaction of the carrier and dispersed components of the mixture. The force interaction of particles and gas was described by the Stokes force. The carrier medium was described as a viscous compressible heat–conducting gas. The equations of the mathematical model were solved by the explicit finite–difference method of the second order of accuracy, using the non–linear correction of the grid function. The system of equations of the mathematical model was supplemented by boundary and initial conditions for the desired functions. As a result of numerical simulation, it was found that in an electrically charged gas suspension there is a difference in gas pressure and velocity, “average density” and velocity of the dispersed component, compared with similar values in a gas suspension with an electrically neutral dispersed component. The revealed differences in the dynamics of neutral and electrically charged dusty media can be explained by the fact that the dispersed component of an electrically charged gas suspension is affected by both aerodynamic drag forces and Coulomb forces. Due to interfacial interaction, the dynamics of the carrier medium changes.
