Abstract
Results of analytical and numerical studies of the interaction of linear and weakly nonlinear air shock waves with an infinite layer of a powdered medium and with a finite-thickness layer are presented. Approximate analytical expressions for phase-pressure distributions in the powdered medium are obtained. It is found that the gas pressure at the “gas-powder” interface is continuous for linear waves and experiences a sudden change for nonlinear waves. The dependences of phase pressures on a shielded solid wall obtained by solving a general nonlinear system of equations of motion of a powdered medium and an approximate analytical solution of linear equations are compared.
