Special Case of a Traveling Wave in One Model of a Multicomponent Medium
The Kuropatenko model for a multicomponent medium whose components are polytropic gases is considered. It is assumed that, as x → ± ∞, the multicomponent medium is in a homogeneous state with constant gas-dynamic parameters - velocity, pressure, and temperature. For the traveling wave flows, conditions similar to the Hugoniot conditions are obtained and used to uniquely determine the flow parameters for x → - ∞ from the flow parameters x → + ∞ and traveling wave velocity.
