Abstract

In this paper, the singular surface theory has been used to study different modes of wave propagation and its culmination into discontinuities at the wave fronts in a plane, cylindrically and spherically symmetric flow of a non-ideal dusty gas. The transport equation for the jump discontinuity has been obtained. The effects of mass fraction of solid particles, ratio of specific heats and the ratio of species densities on shock formation have been studied in detail. The effect of non-ideal parameter on the formation of shocks has also been investigated.
