Abstract: The nonadiabatic motion of a gas mixture of magnesium particles behind the shock wave is considered within the framework of the general mathematical model of a reactive mixture of a gas, liquid drops, and solid particles. A classification of possible flow types of the mixture behind the front of a frozen shock wave is proposed. Ignition delays obtained by numerical methods are in good agreement with experimental data. The flow parameters obtained using the adiabatic and nonadiabatic models are compared.
