Analysis of propagation of normal shocks in Van der Waals gas: Buongiorno model

Abstract

This paper presents an analytical investigation into the propagation of a normal shock wave in Van der Waals gas flow, employing the Buongiorno model. It explores the dynamics of this flow type under a shock wave, considering modified Rankine–Hugoniot (RH) jump conditions within the Buongiorno model framework. By solving the RH conditions, this study provides a solution for gas flows with varying nanoparticle concentrations, facilitating an examination of parameter variations under discontinuity. The abstract further emphasizes the graphical representation of velocity coefficient and pressure in adiabatic gas flow during a shock wave, considering compressive and exponential waves. The analysis accounts for nanoparticle concentration and non-ideal parameters.
