Discrepancies between theory and experiment for shock reflection

Abstract

It was discovered that by using redesigned experimental models some discrepancies between theory and experiment found by previous investigators for strong pseudo-stationary flow could be eliminated. Also the von Neumann paradox for strong shocks could be adequately resolved by comparison with BGK code numerical computations of the experiments.
