Numerical investigation of gas flows arising in the case of ``multiple point'' energy release (Q1911020)

The numerical investigations of the processes which occur in a gas when rapid energy release occurs in several periodically arranged domains are described. Particular attention is paid to the behaviour of thermodynamic heterogeneities in complex flows with shock waves. The calculation is carried out by a start-to-finish method using a conservative scheme of second-order approximation, which preserves the density gradients on the boundaries of regions of hot gas satisfactorily over sufficiently long calculation times.
