Abstract

In this paper an exact formulation of the strength of the disturbance overtaking a shock is presented. The similarity solution is used to find the five interaction terms at all points of the flow. This work confirms that when the strength of the overtaking disturbance is known the CCW approximation may be modified to become an exact theory.
