Ph.D. Thesis
Title Interaction of planar shock waves with non uniform flows
Supervisor Professor Dr. J. Gustavo Wouchuk Schmidt
Description The thesis analytically investigates the interaction of planar shock waves with weak-amplitude isotropic
nonuniform flows. The modification of the turbulent kinetic energy by the shock passage is obtained with
exact and closed-form formulae in very strong and weak shock limits.
