Abstract

Studies of shocks expanding into confined regions lack detailed quantitative data of major flowfield features that evolve in time. The transient behaviour of shock waves and detonations has been the subject of study of many investigators. These include phenomena such as shock reflections, diffractions and shock/vortex interactions. The mentioned phenomena have been explored by various authors, for example shock wave reflections have been studied both phenomenon experimentally and analytically by Ben-Dor and Takayama [1], Ben-Dor et al. [2] and Henderson and Lozzi [3]. The shock diffraction pattern over corners at different Mach numbers has been studied experimentally by Skews ([4], [5]) and also by Griffith and Bricklet [6]. Shock diffraction from small areas to larger ones, have been studied by authors such as, Jiang et al. [7] and Chang and Kim [8].
