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 <i>x → </i>± ∞, 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 <i>x</i> → - ∞ from the flow parameters <i>x</i> → + ∞ and traveling wave velocity.
