G. Bendor et al., DOWNSTREAM PRESSURE-INDUCED HYSTERESIS IN THE REGULAR[--]MACH REFLECTION TRANSITION IN STEADY FLOWS, Physics of fluids, 9(10), 1997, pp. 3096-3098
The regular <-> Mach reflection transition in steady flows was investi
gated numerically using the W-modified Godunov's scheme. In addition t
o the incident-shock-wave-angle-induced hysteresis, which was discover
ed a few years ago and reconfirmed in the present study, a new downstr
eam-pressure-induced hysteresis was found to exist. (C) 1997 American
