NOTES ON THE DIFFRACTION OF BLASTS BY FLYING VEHICLES. PART ONE: GENERAL COMMENTS PART TWO: BLAST-WAVE, MACH-WAVE INTERACTION,
Abstract
Whitham's technique for the approximate calculation of the diffraction of shock waves by stationary bodies is applied to the diffraction of a blast wave by a Mach wave that emanates from the apex of a thin wedge in supersonic flight. The approximate results tend to the exact results for weak blast waves but are unsatisfactory for very strong blast waves. (Author)
