Abstract

In this paper, the random choice method (RCM) with an operator-splitting technique is applied to the numerical simulation of shock propagation down a tube of changing area with a nonuniform steady flow and the flow properties behind the shock. The change rules of the shock strength and flow properties behind it are obtained, and the results are analysed.
