Abstract
The reflection of shock waves over straight reflecting surfaces in steady flows was investigated numerically with the aid of the LCPFCT algorithm. The findings completely supported the experimental results which were reported in Part 1 of this paper (Chpoun et al. 1995). In addition, the dependence of the resulting shock wave configuration on the distance between the trailing edge of the reflecting wedge and the bottom surface, inside the dual-solution domain, was studied. As a result of this study, as well as the one reported in Part 1, the state of the art of shock wave reflections in steady flows was reconsidered.Keywords
