Abstract

For the 1D radial hypersonic flow the development of the configuration with two shocks and contact discontinuity is considered. At small and large moments of time solutions in explicit form are found. As follows from these solutions the contact surface accelerates in time. This acceleration makes possible the Rayleigh-Taylor instability to develop. The 2D numerical investigation of the problem has confirmed the instability of the 1D solution.
