Abstract

Detailed experimental data are presented on the transition between regular and Mach reflexion. Data have been obtained for steady, pseudo-steady and un-steady flows, and include a study of the continuous and discontinuous transitions predicted by previous researchers. It is found that the criterion often used to calculate the transition condition is wrong in every case that we have investigated. In its place we propose an alternative criterion which has the property that the system remains always in mechanical equilibrium during transition.
