Question
This year's qualification round featured a spaceship escaping from a shock wave (Problem B).
The crew survived and wants to study the shock wave in more detail. It can be assumed that
the shock wave travels through a stationary flow of an ideal polytropic gas which is adiabatic on
both sides of the shock. Properties in front and behind a shock are related through the three
Rankine-Hugoniot jump conditions (mass, momentum, energy conservation):
Pivi = P2V2
Pivi + P1 = p2u3 +p2
+ h2
+ hị =
2
where p, v, p, and h are the density, shock velocity, pressure, and specific enthalpy in front ().
and behind (2) the shock respectively.
Shock front
v2, P2; P2, h2
V1, P1, P1, h1
(a) Explain briefly the following terms used in the text above:
(i) stationary flow
(ii) polytropic gas
(iii) specific enthalpy
(b) Show with the Rankine-Hugoniot conditions that the change in specific enthalpy is given by:
P2 - Pi
1
Ah =
2
P1
P2
The general form of Bernoulli's law is fulfilled on both sides of the shock separately:
+ 4 + h = b
where d is the gravitational potential and b a constant.
(c) Assuming that the gravitational potential is the same on both sides, determine how the con-
stant b changes at the shock front.
(d) Explain whether Bernoulli's law can be applied across shock fronts.
