Abstract

Shock-induced phase transitions are studied by adopting the recently-developed theoretical framework, which is applicable for shock waves in three phases (gas, liquid, and solid), based on the system of hard spheres with mutual attractive interactions. The Rankine-Hugoniot conditions derived from the system of Euler equations with caloric and thermal equations of state are studied, and the admissibility (stability) of a shock wave is analyzed. Two typical scenarios of the shock-induced phase transitions from gas phase to solid phase are found. A scenario of shock-induced phase transitions involving three phases simultaneously near the triple point is also found.
