Abstract
We analyze a plane shock wave propagating into a homogeneous two-phase mixture in which the gas density is small compared with the liquid density. Inertial effects are assumed to govern the mechanics and “added mass” effects are represented by the methods of Geurst and Wallis. Expressions are obtained for the shock speed, as well as void fraction, pressure and density jumps across small-amplitude shocks. A method is presented for predicting the behavior of large-amplitude shocks; their characteristics and conditions for their existence are discussed.
