Flow Case

The breakdown of the characteristics solution in the neighbourhood of the leading frozen characteristic is investigated for the flow induced by a piston advancing with finite acceleration into a relaxing gas and for the steady supersonic flow of a relaxing gas into a smooth compressive corner. It is found that the point of breakdown moves outwards along the leading characteristic as the relaxation time decreases and that there is no breakdown of the solution on the leading characteristic if the gas has a sufficiently small, but non-zero, relaxation time. A precise measure of this relaxation time is derived. The paper deals only with points of breakdown determined by initial derivatives of the piston path or wall shape. In the steady-flow case, the Mach number based on the frozen speed of sound must be greater than unity.

Approximate Treatment

The simultaneous relaxation to equilibrium of both rotational and vibrational populations is considered for a diatomic molecule immersed in a heat bath of inert-gas atoms. The relaxation is analyzed in terms of normal modes of relaxation, and it is shown that each mode, having its own distinct relaxation time, in general has both rotational and vibrational components. The qualitative form of these modes is very persistent, and survives considerable variations in the assumed temperature and the assumed set of transition probabilities. Using these modes of relaxation, an approximate treatment is given of the contribution made by the diatomic gas to the sound dispersion of the mixture, and conditions under which modes of relaxation may or may not be resolved from each other, or may be characterized as either 'rotational' or 'vibrational' are examined.
