HETEROGENEOUS MEDIUM

UDC 532.529.5

An expression for the shock adiabat of a multicomponent 
mixture has been obtained. It agrees with the equations of the one-velocity 
model of a heterogeneous medium. The predictions are compared with 
the generally used shock adiabat equation based on the assumption 
on additive shock compression of mixture components.
