Consider a quiescent inviscid perfect gas to the right of an ideal piston in a long duct with constant cross-section. At t=t_1, the piston located at x=c_ot_1 accelerates to the left until it reaches x = 0, then its speed remains constant. The piston’s trajectory, x_p(t), is such that the C_+ characteristics for the time the piston is accelerating all pass through the origin of coordinates (see Figure 15.18). Determine the gas velocity u(x,t) and sound speed c(x,t) in the gas to the right of the piston.
