Abstract
The transition of planar shock waves over straight wedges in steady fl ows between regular and Mach reflection was numerically studied by the DSMC method for small Knudsen numbers. The hysteresis effect was obse rved at increasing and decreasing shock wave angle. Stability of regul ar and Mach reflection configurations to perturbations was examined an d a possibility of transforming one configuration to the other by mean s of the perturbations was shown. The effect of starting conditions in the dual solution domain was clarified.
