Abstract

In [Inzh.-Fiz. Zh., 72, No. 2, 208–215, 216–225 (1998)] the problem of break decay that occurs when a plane skew shock wave (SSW) arrives at the interface between two polytropic gases of different density (the polytrope indices of both gases remain constant in the entire region of interaction) from the side of the less dense of them is considered in detail. The change in the stationary shock-wave configuration with an increase in the angle of incidence from 0 to π/2 is tracked. In the present work, consideration is given to the development of a stationary shock-wave configuration in the case where the SSW emerges at the interface from the side of the more dense gas. Problems associated with boundary layers and mixing of contacting gases were not considered.
