Bifurcation of a reflected shock wave in a shock tube

Shock Waves

Abstract

The problem of shock bifurcation observed for a reflected shock interacting with a boundary layer is investigated both experimentally and numerically. The process has been visualized by means of color schlieren photographs that clearly show the characteristic wave pattern. Accompanying pressure measurements hint at the three-dimensional character of the wave system. In a numerical scheme based on the Euler equations the problem has been simulated giving good agreement between the calculated and the observed wave configuration.
