The Effect of Surface Conditions on the Mach Reflection Phenomenon.

Abstract

The aim of the present study was to study both experimentally and analytically the effect of the surface conditions on the shock reflection phenomenon. In general, the study was divided into two parts: (1) the reflection of a planar shock wave over rough surfaces, and (2) the reflection of a planar shock wave over a liquid surface. Keywords: Shock wave; Regular and Mach reflections; Boundary layer; Reflecting wedge; Pseudo-steady flow; Surface roughness; Von Neuman paradox.
