Abstract

This paper preents a time‐dependent two‐dimensional numerical simulation of a shock propagating through a compressible vortex. A weak shock, with the fluid velocity behind the shock front very much less than the maximum velocity in the vortex, passes over a shock. The vortex breaks the initial planar shock into four curved shocks that eventually merge.
