Shock interaction in sphere symmetry

Analysis of PDEs 2023-10-11 v1

Abstract

We investigate the interaction of two oncoming shock waves in spherical symmetry for an ideal barotropic fluid. Our research problem is how to establish a local in time solution after the interaction point and determine the state behind the shock waves. This problem is a double free boundary problem, as the position of the shock waves in space time is unknown. Our work is based on a number of previous studies, including Lisibach's, who studied the case of plane symmetry. To solve this problem, we will use an iterative regime to establish a local in time solution.
