Description

At the previous AFMC, the background for expecting a departure from Rankine-Hugoniot theory at the base of the reflected shock wave in weak Mach reflection was exposed. The results of some pertinent experiments performed in the supersonic wind tunnel were then presented. They confirmed the hypothesised irregular behaviour. In the present contribution, the elaboration of a theory of transgressed shock wave properties is presented. This concept enables to calculate the modified jump process. It fully accounts for the known experimental observations. It is the unyielding boundary conditions that prevail beyond regular reflection which force this remarkable deviation from the classical shock wave theory to take place.

Search Google Scholar™

Citation counts are sourced monthly from Scopus and Web of Science® citation databases.

These databases contain citations from different subsets of available publications and different time periods and thus the citation count from each is usually different. Some works are not in either database and no count is displayed. Scopus includes citations from articles published in 1996 onwards, and Web of Science® generally from 1980 onwards.

Citations counts from the Google Scholar™ indexing service can be viewed at the linked Google Scholar™ search.
