Gas Dynamic Functions Of A Point Explosion

The article is dedicated to the problem of a point explosion with counterpressure in a quiescent nonviscous and nonheat-conducting ideal gas with the constant adiabatic given exponent. Given pressure and density of the undisturbed gas are considered constants. As a result of numerical solution of this problem, tables of the gas-dynamic functions of a point explosion are calculated. This article presents tables for the flat, cylindrical, and spherical explosions in an ideal gas for the given values equal to 1.3, 1.4, and 5/3. The tables contain the basic functions describing the field of the gas flow over a wide time span. Also, some possible applications of these tables for solving other problems in the gas-dynamics of explosion and in hypersonic aerodynamics are explained in the introductory section. (Author).
