Abstract
When the incident angle constructed by the incident shock and the surface of the wall is greater than a critical value, the regular shock reflection could not occur, and the Mach shock reflection will occur instead [1,2,3,4,5,6,7]. In this chapter we are going to study the occurrence of Mach reflection and its structure. Mach configuration is a structure of nonlinear waves, including three shocks starting from a point and a contact discontinuity. Besides, we will also give a classification on this structure according to the characteristic feature of the flow field, and particularly study the stability of Mach configuration. The main references are [2, 8].
