The Riemann problem for fluid flow of real materials is examined. An arbitrary equation of
state is allowed, subject only to the physical requirements of thermodynamics. The …

This article reviews recent advances in the understanding of turbulent flows of non-ideal
gases through the use of high-fidelity direct and large eddy simulations. In particular, the …

A complete classification of shock waves in a van der Waals fluid is undertaken. This is in
order to gain a theoretical understanding of those shock-related phenomena as observed in …

Abstract The Martin-Hou equation has been employed to compute the fundamental
derivative of gasdynamics for seven commercially available fluorocarbons. Each fluid was …

The van der Waals polytropic gas model is used to investigate the role of attractive and
repulsive intermolecular forces and the influence of molecular complexity on the possible …

Despite the extensive literature accumulated since the pioneering works of D'yakov and
Kontorovich in the 1950s, the stability of steady shocks is still an open question when …

This paper presents a new class of Bethe-Zel'dovich-Thompson fluids, which are expected
to exhibit nonclassical gasdynamic behavior in the single-phase vapor region. These are the …

In the present article we examine the dynamics of single-phase, equilibrium, ie, classical,
fluids in the dense gas regime. The behavior of fluids of moderately large molecular weight …

The shock structure in a binary mixture of polyatomic Eulerian gases with different degrees
of freedom of a molecule is studied based on the multi-temperature model of rational …

Steady isentropic flows of fluids in their dense gas regime are examined. It is shown that the
Mach number may increase, rather than decrease, with density or pressure if the specific …
