Abstract

A method of moving grids is developed to improve computational results for the oblique reflection of weak shock waves. A band of finer meshes moves with the incident shock wave along the ramp. The detailed structures of reflected waves at the wall are reproduced for irregular dispersed reflection in carbon dioxide. Although the employed numerical scheme is a MacCormack-FCT combined method, the present method of moving grids is easily applicable to the other schemes.
