Progress Report on the Mach Reflection Calculation

Description: "Mathematical methods are being developed for calculations in fluid dynamics. The work to date on the Mach reflection calculation is summarized. In the flow, there are two curved shocks, a slip surface, a plane shock, and rigid walls. The desired solution of the fluid-dynamics equations is stationary in similarity variables; approximate initial data are therefore assumed, with the expectation that the flow will settle down to the desired one asymptotically. The Eulerian equations for the smooth… more
