Abstract
The unsteady, inviscid flowfield that results when a supersonic vehicle strikes a planar oblique shock wave, though difficult to simulate experimentally, is quite easy to model and compute numerically. The complicated flowfield, which contains multiple shock wave interactions, is determined using a second-order, shock-capturing, finite-difference approach which solves the time-dependent Euler equations under a self-similar transformation. A series of numerical results for a simple two-dimensional wedge is presented which describes the entire disturbed region, including the wave structure, and shows good agreement with the available two- and three-dimensional experimental data.
