4.8 Regular Reflection from a Solid Boundary wall, the streamlines in region 2 must be deflected downward through the angie 0. This can only be done by a second shock wave, originating at B, with sutticient strength to turn the flow through an angle @. with an upstream Mach number of M> This second shock is called a reflected shock: its strength is uniquely defined by My and 0, yielding the consequent properties in region 3. Because Mp < My. the re- flected shock wave is weaker than the incident shock, and the angle @ it makes with the upper wall is not equal to fi (ie., the reflected shock wave is not speculatly reflected), 071400 | Consider a horizontal supersonic flow at Mach 2.8 with a static pressure and temperature of 1 alm and 519°R, respectively. This flow passes over a compression comer with a defle angle of 16°. The oblique shock generated at the corner propagates into the flow. and is inci- dent on a horizontal wall, as shown in Fig. 4.18. Calculate the angle & made by the reflected shock wave with respect to the wall, and the Mach number, pressure, and temperature behind the reflected shock = Solution ‘The flowfield is as shown in Fig. 4.18, From the #-B-M diagram, By My, = Mj sin By = 2.8 sin35- = 1.606 From Table A.2, for My, = 1.606: p/p, = 2.82, 73/T; = 1.388, and My, = 0.0684, Hence My _ 0.6684 Sin(B; 8) ~ sin — 16) M, = 2.083 From the @-B-M diagram, for M = 2.053 and # = 16% fi Mach number ahead of the reflected shock normal to the shock is M,.. given by 45.5.
