Abstract
The numerical simulation of shock-tube experiments with mixtures of co ndensing vapour is discussed. In the expansion region, the state of va pour supersaturation causes a strong homogeneous nucleation. The heat production clue to nucleation and condensation leads to formation of c ondensation shock. The aim of numerical simulations is the correct pre diction of condensation shock development, by numerical solution of Ri emann problem for governing equations. Several numerical results are c ompared with experimental data.
