Popis: The special theory of relativity is used to analyze the motion of plane shock waves in a medium whose equation of state is u = 3 p , u being the mass density and p the pressure. The appropriate conservation equations together with this pressure-density relation provide a determinate set of equations for obtaining the downstream, in terms of the upstream, variables. The properties of normal and oblique shock waves in this gas are studied in the Lorentz frames in which the shocks are at rest.
