A NON-LINEAR SHOCK WAVE REFLECTION THEORY

Abstract

A one-dimensional theory of normal reflection of blast waves from walls is given. The method satisfies the initial and boundary conditions of the problem. It is shown how the entire reflected wave zone, including the reflected shock front and the pressure and impulse on the wall, can be calculated
