PONCHAUT, H. G. HORNUNG, D. I. PULLIN AND C. A. MOUTON Califoia Isiue of Techology, Pasadea CA 91125, USA (Received 4 July 2005 ad i evised fom 6 Jauay 2006) The poblem of a cylidically o spheically implodig ad eflecig shock wave i a flow iiially a es is sudied wihou he use of he sog-shock appoximaio. Dimesioal agumes ae fis used o show ha his flow admis a geeal soluio whee a ifiiesimally weak shock fom ifiiy seghes as i coveges owads he oigi. Fo a pefec-gas equaio of sae, his soluio depeds oly o he dimesioaliy of he flow ad o he aio of specific heas. The Gudeley powe-law esul ca he be iepeed as he leadig-ode, sog-shock appoximaio, valid ea he oigi a he implosio cee. We impove he Gudeley soluio by addig wo fuhe ems i he seies expasio soluio fo boh he icomig ad he efleced shock waves. A seies expasio, valid whee he shock is sill weak ad vey fa fom he oigi, is also cosuced. Wih a appopiae chage of vaiables ad usig he exac shock-jump codiios, a umeical, chaaceisics-based soluio is obaied descibig he geeal shock moio fom almos ifiiy o vey close o he eflecio poi. Compaisos ae made bewee he seies expasios, he chaaceisics soluio, ad he esuls obaied usig a Eule solve. These show ha he addiio of wo ems o he Gudeley soluio sigificaly exeds he age of validiy of he sog-shock seies expasio. 1. Ioducio The poblem of a implodig shock wave is ieesig fom a fudameal gasdyamical poi of view, ad has impoa applicaios agig fom deoaio ad fusio iiiaio o he desucio of kidey soes. Gudeley fis ivesigaed he poblem by cosideig a cylidical o spheical shock wave, iiially a a vey lage adius, popagaig iwad hough a pefec gas a es ad he eflecig fom he axis o cee, see Gudeley (1942). Gudeley cosideed oly he case whee he shock is aleady so iese ha he sog fom of he shock jump elaios apply. Fo his case, he foud a similaiy soluio, i which he shock adius is give by he ime elaive o he ime a which i eaches he cee aised o some powe smalle ha uiy, so ha he shock segh becomes ifiie a he cee. The value of his powe is he same fo he icomig ad efleced shock waves. Sice Gudeley s wok, his value has bee ecalculaed wih geae accuacy by seveal eseaches. Hafe (1988) deived he equaios i Lagagia coodiaes ad used powe seies o solve hese. By doig so, he was able o fid he expoe value wih a vey high umbe of sigifica digis. The poblem was also sudied by Chese (1954), Chisell (1955), ad Whiham (1958) wih appoximae mehods, specifically geomeical shock dyamics. I hei soluios, he expoe i he expessio fo he Mach umbe as a fucio of

104 N. F. Pochau, H. G. Houg, D. I. Pulli ad C. A. Mouo shock adius fo he spheical case is exacly wice ha fo he cylidical case. This appoximae esul diffes fom he exac soluio by less ha oe pece. The geomeical shock dyamics mehod is boh simple ad iuiive while povidig faily accuae esuls. Moe ecely, Chisell (1998) descibed he implodig shock poblem aalyically, alog wih he flow geeaed behid i, by makig a few aalyical assumpios. The expoe values ha he foud, usig appoximae equaios, ae faily close o hei exac values, which idicaes ha his descipios ae valid. Chisell also ivesigaed he covegig shock behaviou whe he specific hea aio, γ,edso1oo ifiiy. Fially, Lee (1967) used a quasi-simila appoximaio ad was able o fid he appoximae flow behaviou eve fo fiie Mach umbes. His soluio agees vey well wih he exac similaiy soluio. Gudeley suggesed ha he powe-law soluio should be exeded as a powe seies. This would he pemi elaxaio of he sog-shock assumpio, allowig soluios fo a iceased age of accepable Mach umbes, valid fahe fom he poi of eflecio. The aim of he pese wok is o ideify a geealized implodig-shock poblem usig he full Rakie Hugoio shock-jump elaios, ad o obai a powe seies soluio boh fo he covegig ad efleced shocks i which he Gudeley soluio is he fis em i he ie, sog-shock expasio. Such a soluio would apply i ad ea he sog-shock limi. Also, we seek a seies soluio fo he oue flow descibed by a iiially ifiiesimally weak shock a ifiie adius as i popagaes iwad. Fuhemoe, we also aim o compue he full flow field fo he geealized implodig shock usig he mehod of chaaceisics. Fially, we wa o compae he esuls wih umeical simulaios. I he followig secios we fis caefully defie he geealized implodig eflecig shock flow. The poblem will he be posed, dimesioal aalysis will be used o guide he soluio saegy, ad fially, he geeal equaios will be give ( 2). The he Gudeley soluio will be iepeed ad wo addiioal ems will be added. A seies expasio will also be fomed fo a vey weak shock locaed vey fa fom he eflecio poi ( 3). A algoihm based o he mehod of chaaceisics, ad desiged o fid he complee implodig shock soluio fom ifiiy o he oigi, will be descibed ( 4). Fially, some compaisos bewee expasios, chaaceisic soluios, ad esuls fom a Eule solve will be peseed ( 5). Noe ha he seies expasio calculaios ivolve vey leghy expessios. Fo his easo, oly he mehod o solve he poblem, ad o he expessios hemselves will be peseed i his aicle. Fuhe deails ae povided i Pochau (2005). 2. Poblem defiiio 2.1.

The medium is a pefec gas wih a aio of specific heas γ, ad he flow upseam of he icomig shock is a es wih pessue P I ad desiy ρ I. Noe ha he oaio i his wok, which is suiable fo he seies aalysis, is slighly diffee fom ha chose by Gudeley. The eie poblem ca be divided io fou sepaae egios i he (, )-plae.

They sop a he icomig shock sice, i egio II, hey avel fase ha he shock. The hid family of chaaceisics i egio II o III eachig he efleced shock ae jus defleced by he efleced shock. Noe ha he paicula chaaceisic ha eaches he shock a = 0 is of special impoace sice i is he bouday of he domai ha iflueces he icomig shock. This chaaceisic leads o sigulaiies i he equaios as explaied i lae secios. Regio I is aleady kow ad egios II, III ad IV saisfy he Eule equaios. Shock jump codiios mus be saisfied alog he boudaies bewee egios I ad II ad bewee egios III ad IV. The vaiables mus be coiuous bewee egios II ad III ad fially, fom physical agumes, he flow mus have o velociy a he oigi. I is impoa o oe ha he shock Mach umbe eds o ifiiy a he oigi i he icomig case, bu is fiie i he efleced case. The easo fo his is ha, alhough he shock velociy is ifiie a he oigi, he speed of soud a he oigi, i egio III, is ifiie as well. 2.2. Dimesioal aalysis Accodig o Buckigham s pi heoem, sice we have seve vaiables, we ca fom fou idepede o-dimesioal umbes. We will ake hese fou o-dimesioal paamees o be ν, γ, θ = c I,η= R s R s, whee c I is he speed of soud i he udisubed egio (c I = γp I /ρ I ). These fou o-dimesioal vaiables ae sufficie o descibe he complee soluio o he poblem. This meas ha i (θ, η) coodiaes, hee exiss a uivesal soluio fo a give γ ad a give ν. The desiy, pessue, ad velociy ca be expessed as ρ = ρ I ρ(ν, γ, θ, η), (2.2) P = P I P (ν, γ, θ, η), (2.3) u = c I u(ν, γ, θ, η). (2.4) The shock moio ca also be ivesigaed by cosideig he velociy of he shock, U s =dr s /d. Sice he shock is locaed a η = 1, we have U s = c I K ( 1) (ν, γ, θ), (2.5) whee K ( 1) is he ivese fucio of K wih espec o U s /c I. K is a ukow fucio defied as ( θ = K ν, γ, U ) s. (2.6) c I

Howeve, i is o coveie whe diec pedicios of he shock posiio ae desied. I fac, (2.6) ivolves hee vaiables (, R s () ad U s ()), ad is a oliea diffeeial equaio fo R s (). This ca be see if we wie (2.6) as ( c I R s () = K ν, γ, 1 ) dr s (). (2.7) c I d To fid moe suiable equaios, we ca dop oe of he vaiables ( o U s )ad defie a chaaceisic ime, τ, such ha c I τ is he adius a which he icomig shock has a Mach umbe of 2 (abiay choice). I his case, we ca show ha we ge he followig expessios: ( R s c I τ = F ν, γ, U ) s, (2.8) c I R s c I τ = G (ν, γ, τ ), (2.9) whee F (ν, γ, 2) =1, (2.10) G(ν, γ, 0) =0. (2.11) The seies expasios will be wie i he same fom as (2.9). The fucios F, G ad K will be used o make compaisos bewee he soluios fom he seies expasios, he mehod of chaaceisics ad Eule compuaios ( 5.3). 3. Seies expasio soluios To obai a simple soluio, i is useful o fid he limiig behavious of he shock i he fom of a seies. Gudeley obaied he fis em of he expasio seies soluio close o he oigi, fo c I τ (o equivalely, fo M s 1). I he ex subsecios, we will fis asfom he equaios o make hem moe suiable fo solvig he seies expasio poblems ( 3.1). Gudeley s soluio will he be examied ( 3.2) ad exeded wih wo addiioal ems ( 3.3). Fially, seies expasios will also be fomed fo he weak shock case, i.e. fo c I τ,ofom s 1 1( 3.4). These ca be vey useful as saig codiios whe usig a umeical mehod o fid he soluio i he eie domai. 3.1.

The mehod o solve his simplified poblem will be discussed i he followig subsecios. New shock jump codiios will fis be wie ad ew vaiables will be ioduced ( 3.2.1). Fom he esulig equaios, he poblem will be solved fo ± adhefoα ± ( 3.2.2). 3.2.1.

Fo ha pupose, as well as o obai he complee icomig shock soluio, a fis-ode-accuae pogam based o he mehod of chaaceisics was wie. Sice he pogam has o be able o compue he flow saig a R s c I τ ad edig a R s c I τ, compuig he soluio i eal space (, ) would be vey icoveie. To avoid ha, he followig chage of vaiables is pefomed: θ = c I R s (), η = R s(). Wih his chage of vaiables, he ifiie domai becomes a squae-bouded domai wih θ agig fom 1 o0adη agig fom 0 o 1 (see figue 4). The easo fo ioducig θ follows logically fom (2.6). I fac, i solvig he poblem, we will aually fid he ukow fucio θ = K(ν, γ, U s /c I ).

Noe ha eve hough he iiial codiios of he Eule simulaio wee o pefecly chose o avoid he ioducio of a legh scale, he compuaio quickly coveges o he seies soluio. This suggess ha, like he oe-em Gudeley soluio, he seies soluio is a aaco.
