Abstract

The deformation of the Mach stem in pseudo-steady shock wave reflections is investigated numerically and theoretically. The numerical simulation provides the typical flow patterns of Mach stem deformation and reveals the differences caused by high-temperature gas effects. The results also show that the wall jet, which causes Mach stem deformation, can be regarded as a branch of the mainstream from the first reflected shock. A new theoretical model for predicting the Mach stem deformation is developed by considering volume conservation. The theoretical predictions agree well with the numerical results in a wide range of test conditions. With this model, the wall-jet velocity and the inflow velocity from the Mach stem are identified as the two dominating factors that convey the influence of high-temperature thermodynamics. The mechanism of high-temperature gas effects on the Mach stem deformation phenomenon are then discussed.
