On the dynamics of shock waves in the liquid. Overview

We consider the laws of shock compression, the boundary conditions on the front of waves. We show conservation laws at the front of shock wave. Are discussed methods for calculating the dynamics of shock waves and equations of state of the fluid. Provides a simplified formalism, which is the theory of shock waves for the case of plane shock front. Outlines the existing methods of numerical calculation of shock waves. Provides an example of setting a boundary value problem of the propagation of the shock wave.
