Abstract
General study of wave systems which can result from the interaction of plane shock with an area convergence has led to the discovery of an interesting regime, specified in terms of functional relationships between shock Mach numbers and area ratios, where two or three solutions exist at the same time, all satisfying the dynamic boundary conditions imposed by the conservation laws. The ambiguity is resolved by invoking the extremum principle of irreversible thermodynamics.Keywords
