Abstract

A Navier-Stokes hydrocode using adaptive zoning and higher-order TVD differencing (called MAZe for Multiphase Adaptive Zoning) was used to perform a three-dimensional simulation of the interaction of a planar shock wave with a cone at an oblique angle. The case under investigation had an incident shock of strength Mach 1.28, a cone half-angle of 35°, and an angle of 25° between the cone axis and the shock-normal vector. An experiment using the above configuration was performed in which the cone was placed at the open end of a 230 mm diameter shock tube. Flow visualization was carried out with double-exposure holographic interferometry and diffuse holographic interferometry. Shock wave reflections ranging from regular to Mach reflection were clearly observed for both experiment and simulation. Shock structures and triple-point trajectory angles derived from the simulation and experiment were compared.
