Abstract

On the basis of the molecular gas dynamics analysis, we investigated the influence of non-condensable gas on non-equilibrium vapor condensation induced by reflected shock wave. In the present study, the governing parameters of this problem are initial number density ratio (ratio of the number density of non-condensable gas to that of vapor) and condensation coefficient including in the boundary condition for vapor molecules at vapor-liquid interface. From the present results, it is clarified that the condensation mass flux of vapor is affected by the non-condensable gas near the interface just after the instance when the shock wave reflects at the interface. Furthermore, as the initial number density ratio become larger, the condensation mass flux of vapor is suppressed more strongly, and also the condensation mass flux is not affected by the value of condensation coefficient.
