Abstract

The theoretical study and experimental investigation of the reflection of asymmetric shock waves in steady flows reported by Li et al. (1999) are complemented by a numerical simulation. All the findings reported in both the theoretical study and the experimental investigation were also evident in the numerical simulation. In addition to weak regular reflection and Mach reflection wave configurations, strong regular reflection and inverse-Mach reflection wave configurations were recorded numerically. The hysteresis phenomenon, which was hypothesized in the course of the theoretical study and then verified in the experimental investigation, was also observed in the numerical simulation.
