Flow Criterion

It is shown experimentally that, in steady flow, transition to Mach reflection occurs at the von Neumann condition in the strong shock range (Mach numbers from 2.8 to 5). This criterion applies with both increasing and decreasing shock angle, so that the hysteresis effect predicted by Hornung, Oertel & Sandeman (1979) could not be observed. However, evidence of the effect is shown to be displayed in an unsteady experiment of Henderson & Lozzi (1979).

The One

The reflection of asymmetric shock waves in steady flows is studied both theoretically and experimentally. While the analytical model was two-dimensional, three-dimensional edge effects influenced the experiments. In addition to regular and Mach reflection wave configurations, an inverse-Mach reflection wave configuration, which has been observed so far only in unsteady flows (e.g. shock wave reflection over concave surfaces or over double wedges) has been recorded. A hysteresis phenomenon similar to the one that exists in the reflection of symmetric shock waves has been found to also exist in the reflection of asymmetric shock waves. The domains and transition boundaries of the various types of overall reflection wave configurations are analytically predicted.

Good Agreement

In this paper, the regular reflection (RR) to Mach reflection (MR) transition of asymmetric shock waves is theoretically studied by employing the classical two- and three-shock theories. Computations are conducted to evaluate the effects of expansion fans, which are inherent flow structures in asymmetric reflection of shock waves, on the RR → MR transition. Comparison shows good agreement among the theoretical, numerical and experimental results. Some discrepancies between experiment and theory reported in previous studies are also explained based on the present theoretical analysis. The advanced RR → MR transition triggered by a transverse wave is also discussed for the interaction of a hypersonic flow and a double-wedge-like geometry.
