Abstract

In this paper the problem of interaction of an oblique blast wave encountering a small bend along a plane wall is studied for the case when relative outflow from the reflected shock is supersonic. A theoretical solution is developed completely with the help of conformal transformations and complex variable techniques. Numerical results showing the pressure distribution along the wall have been obtained for two incident shock strengths.
