(48.18). Using (55.3) in (55.lb)
or (55.2), we obtain (du/dt)+ (u * a)((%dd.x)= o.(55.5)
Similarly, by inverting the function p(u), we can write the continuity equation as (dp/dt) +[p(du/dx) + U](dp/dX)= O,
which, from (55.3), implies(dp/dt) + (u + a)(dp/dx) = O.
Equations (55 .5) and (55.7) yield general solutions ofu =Fl [x-(u+a)t] and p= F2 [x-(u*a) Because p = p(u), p = p[p(u) In the case illustrated in Figure 56.
1, v, < @ and VI= O, hence UI >0, as is u" .
THE CONSERVATION LAWSIn the frame of the shock the flow is steady, hence the equations of continuity, momentum, and energy (again ignoring viscosity and conduction) reduce to (56.4) and (p, V) plane, either (56.13) or (56.14) defines a unique curve P(V) = f (p,, V,, V), called the Hugoniot cur-ue, passing through (p,, V,)
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
