Dissipative instability of shock waves
arXiv:1912.13426 · doi:10.1134/S1063776120030036
Abstract
A new condition for the linear dissipative instability of the strong plane shock wave in an arbitrary medium is obtained. The instability of the shock is realized due to the flow instability behind its front, which is similar to the known dissipative instability in the boundary layer for the Tollmien-Schlichting waves. It is found that within the limit of low viscosity the one-dimensional longitudinal disturbances grow much faster than the two-dimensional corrugation ones. It points to a better correspondence to experiment of the new condition for the absolute instability of the shock in comparison with theory, which does not take viscosity into account.
