Abstract
When a flat disk is accelerated away from a base plate, a complex flow system can be set up. If the acceleration is rapid this can include the generation of radial and axial shock waves between the disk and the base plate, and a variety of shock/vortex interactions. The patterns are largely influenced by the velocity variation of the disk. Some of the major features of these flows are identified for the impulsive acceleration of a disk to various values of final velocity.
