Growth and Decay of Curved Acceleration Waves in Chemically Reacting Fluids

Abstract
The propagation of curved acceleration waves in a mixture of ideal fluids in which chemical reactions are taking place is discussed. The purpose is to investigate the strength of the attenuation induced by geometric factors for expanding waves relative to the growth induced by thermochemical instabilities. Solutions for the wave amplitude are given for waves of general shape and are specialized to the case of spherical and cylindrical waves.
