Abstract
We have numerically solved several problems related to converging shock waves, including (i) one-dimensional spherical and cylindrical waves with cumulation limited to a ball or cylinder of small radius and (ii) shock-wave flow in a cone-shaped solid target. The passage from a continuous loaded substance to a porous medium in these problems leads to a significant increase in both temperature and pressure in the sample. This character of pressure variation depending on the porosity qualitatively differs from the case of plane waves of constant intensity, for which an increase in the sample porosity under otherwise equal conditions of loading always leads to a decrease in the pressure.
