Abstract

In work results of calculation of the mean intensity and size of a deviation from rectilinear distribution of a beam which passes in the beginning of the path through a shock wave and propagates further in a homogeneous medium are presented. It is shown that the spatial inhomogeneity of the air refractive index in the region of a shock wave which is formed during a supersonic air flow around the turret can exert a focusing action of a beam intersecting the wave, and defragmentation of the beam and rapid degradation at further propagation.
