Abstract

The regular ↔ Mach reflection transition in steady flows was investigated numerically using the W-modified Godunov's scheme. In addition to the incident-shock-wave-angle-induced hysteresis, which was discovered a few years ago and reconfirmed in the present study, a new downstream-pressure-induced hysteresis was found to exist.
