Convection of a pattern of vorticity through a reacting shock waveThe passage of a weak vorticity disturbance through a reactive shock wave, or detonation, is examined by means of a linearized treatment. Of special interest is the effect of chemical heat release on the amplification of vorticity in particular, and on the disturbance pattern generated downstream of the detonation in general. It is found that the effect of exothermicity is to amplify the refracted waves. The manner in which the imposed disturbance alters the structure of the detonation itself is also discussed.
