Abstract

We use a rectangular computational domain to study numerically the transition from regular to Mach reflection of oblique shock waves in steady The SU2 solver is used to solve the 2D Euler equation, where the desired shock conditions are obtained by imposing suitable boundary conditions. Results for the Mach stem height compare fairly well with those obtained on the conventional wedge geometry. Accurate Mach stem height requires a domain large enough to resolve the sonic throat.
