Abstract
In the present investigation, vorticity distribution of a particle over the normal diffracted shock has been obtained for monoatomic gases, CO2 and SF6. Further some results using Lighthill’s theory (Lighthill in Proc R Soc A 198:454–470, 1949) and Whitham’s theory (Whitham in J Fluid Mech 2:145–171, 1957) have been obtained.
