Abstract
The behaviour of a planar shock wave that encounters an inclined wedge is well known, and Ben-Dor [1] gives a detailed description of the various reflection patterns that form under these circumstances. If the angle of incidence between the shock and the wedge is low enough, then the two shock pattern known as regular reflection (RR) will occur
