Abstract

The plane steady decelerated flow of a dust-gas mixture is analysed in an approximate manner. The problem, which has a five-parameter family of solutions, is reduced to a form such that the analysis can be completed by the integration of a first-order non-linear differential equation and a quadrature. A few integral curves are given and the characterizing features of the flow field are discussed.
