The Dynamics of Pressureless Dust Clouds and Delta Waves
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract. The equations of isothermal gas dynamics are studied in the limit when the sound speed vanishes, giving the so-called pressureless gas equations. The collision of two clouds of dust is modeled with these equations in the case where the clouds have finite extent and are surrounded by vacuum. The delta shock that arises in the initial stage of the collision evolves into a delta rarefaction-shock and then into a delta double-rarefaction as first one cloud and then the other is fully accreted into the singularity. A high-resolution finite volume method that captures this behavior is also presented and numerical results shown.

Shadow waves for pressureless gas balance laws
The procedure used for finding delta shock type solutions to some conservation laws known as Shadow Waves are now used for finding a solution to pressureless gas dynamics model with body force added as a source. The obtained solution in this paper resembles the one to pressureless gas dynamics model without a source. If the body force interpreted as the acceleration constant multiplied by the d...
متن کاملShadow Waves – Entropies and Interactions for Delta and Singular Shocks
The paper deal with two key problems for delta (or singular) shock solutions to systems of conservation laws: entropy admissibility conditions for them (which is connected to the notorious uniqueness problem) and their interaction. A way we chose is to represent them by nets of piecewise constant (or constant with respect only to the space variable) functions, here called shadow waves. All the ...
متن کاملNumerical Approximations of Pressureless and Isothermal Gas Dynamics
We study several schemes of rst or second-order accuracy based on kinetic approximations to solve pressureless and isothermal gas dynamics equations. The pressureless gas system is weakly hyperbolic, giving rise to the formation of density concentrations known as delta-shocks. For the isothermal gas system, the innnite speed of expansion into vacuum leads to zero timestep in the Godunov method ...

متن کاملLaminar Flame Speed Prediction in Lean Mixture of Aluminum Dust Clouds by Considering the Effect of Random Distribution of Particles in Two-dimension
In the present study, the effect of random distribution of reactants and products on laminar, 2D and steady-state flame propagation in aluminium particles has been investigated. The equations are solved only for lean mixture. The flame structure is assumed to consist of a preheat zone, a reaction zone and a post flame zone. It is presumed that in the preheat zone particles are heated an...
