Abstract

Numerical methods involving two variables have been used to study gasdynamic processes in a gas layer next to a barrier. A flow of gas arises because of absorption by the gas of intense radiation. It is shown that cumulative effects can occur leading to the establishment of a quasisteady flow and heating regime if the radiation is applied for a prolonged period.
