Abstract
The influence of viscosity on the formation of the Mach reflection of shock waves in a steady argon flow between two symmetrically arranged wedges is numerically studied at the free-stream Mach number of 2 and the Reynolds number of 1000. A two-shock configuration is shown to form at the wedge angle \(\theta _\text {w}=10.9^\circ \) rather than a three-shock configuration predicted by shock polars. The Mach reflection appears as the wedge angle increases, i.e., viscosity leads to a delay of the transition from regular to Mach reflection.
期刊介绍:
Shock Waves provides a forum for presenting and discussing new results in all fields where shock and detonation phenomena play a role. The journal addresses physicists, engineers and applied mathematicians working on theoretical, experimental or numerical issues, including diagnostics and flow visualization.
The research fields considered include, but are not limited to, aero- and gas dynamics, acoustics, physical chemistry, condensed matter and plasmas, with applications encompassing materials sciences, space sciences, geosciences, life sciences and medicine.
Of particular interest are contributions which provide insights into fundamental aspects of the techniques that are relevant to more than one specific research community.
The journal publishes scholarly research papers, invited review articles and short notes, as well as comments on papers already published in this journal. Occasionally concise meeting reports of interest to the Shock Waves community are published.
