Abstract
The reflection of a planar shock wave over a water wedge was
investigated experimentally in a purposely designed shock tube capable
of being tilted from a horizontal position to about 70 deg. All the four
well-known types of reflection, i.e., regular reflection, single-Mach
reflection, complex-Mach reflection, and double-Mach reflection, could
be observed. In addition, the transition wedge angle from regular to
Mach reflection was investigated. The study was aimed at getting a
better understanding of the reflection phenomena of blast waves over
liquid surfaces such as those of seas and oceans.
