Abstract

A control problem was considered that makes it possible to switch the flow between stationary Mach and regular reflection of shock waves within the dual solution domain. The sensitivity of the flow was computed by solving adjoint equations. A control disturbance was sought by applying gradient optimization methods. According to the computational results, the transition from regular to Mach reflection can be executed by raising the temperature. The transition from Mach to regular reflection can be achieved by lowering the temperature at moderate Mach numbers and is impossible at large numbers. The reliability of the numerical results was confirmed by verifying them with the help of a posteriori analysis.
