Abstract
Chapter 3 is very important for the whole book, which is the basis of the following chapters 4, 5, 6, and 7. In this chapter, we first discuss the three-dimensional equations and shock-shock relations for a uniform quiescent gas ahead of a shock (Whitham, 1959); then explain the external diffractions, the diffraction by a cone (Whitham, 1959; Han, Milton, and Takayama, 1992), diffraction by a cylinder or a sphere (Bryson and Gross, 1961), diffraction by a thin or slender body (Whitham, 1959); finally explain the internal diffraction along a conically contracting channel (Milton, 1971; Han, Milton, and Takayama, 1992).
