Boundaries of the ambiguity area upon reflection of compression shock waves

Technical Physics Letters volume 42, pages 15–18 (2016)Cite this article

Abstract

Oblique shock waves can be reflected from hard walls, the axis, or the plane of symmetry, as well as from other counterpropagating shock waves with the formation of regular and Mach shock wave configurations. The specific form of shock wave structures is determined by the parameters of the problem: Mach number and intensity of incident shock waves. On the plane of parameters, there exists an ambiguity area in which laws of conservation admit both the regular and Mach reflection of shock waves. The boundaries of this region have been determined.
