Abstract
We consider the interaction problem of a steepened wave with a strong shock in the planar and radially symmetric flow of a van der Waals stiffened relaxing gases. An exact solution to the considered system is used to investigate the evolution of a steepened wave. The significance of van der Waals excluded volume, density, and velocity of solid crystals on a steepened wave is determined. Attention is drawn to analyzing the interaction between steepened wave and blast wave. The amplitudes of reflected and transmitted waves along with the bounce in shock acceleration, originating from collision between steepened wave and strong shock, are also computed.
