I need to understand how much kinetic energy a particle can absorb which initially is at rest and suddently is exposed to a shock wave.
Detonation velocities are very high, on the order of 6000 m/s, but I assume this is the velocity
of the shock front and not of the gas molecules themself, and I assume it is the gas molecules, the air, that drags the particle and accelerates it.
So I assume I need a velocity vs time function for a typical shock front, or in the best of worlds some values of the final velocity of particles of differents sizes that has been exposed to a some typical shock wave.
