Shock waves in non-Newtonian bubbly liquids

Propagation of non-stationary shock waves in a bubbly liquid with a non-Newtonian carrier phase was investigated numerically. The research is carried out within the one-velocity two-temperature two-pressure model of multiphase media mechanics. An aqueous solution of polymer was used as a non-Newtonian carrier phase. It was concluded that the behavior of shock waves in Newtonian and non-Newtonian bubbly liquids with the same Newtonian viscosity may have fundamental differences. The influence of defining parameters of the two-phase mixture and wave on the structure of shock waves was examined. The numerical analysis of evolution and attenuation of pulse perturbations was carried out.
