Abstract
The purpose of the paper is to analyze the nonlinear process of plane shock reflection from a cylinder or sphere. In contrast to [1], where the S. K. Godunov method of first-order accuracy is used, the solution is carried out by using an explicit difference scheme of second-order accuracy [2, 3]. Curves of the pressure distribution over the surface are presented and a comparison is given with the results of experiments and the theory of regular (I) and Mach (II) reflections [4], which assume rectilinearity of the shocks and perpendicularity of the Mach wave to the reflecting surface. A formula describing the maximum reflection pressure on the body surface is presented. The results of computations supplement the known information about the singularities of the reflection process obtained experimentally and theoretically.
