Abstract: |
When a plane shock hits a wedge head on, it experiences a reflection-diffraction
process and then a self-similar reflected shock moves outward as the original shock moves
forward in time. In this paper, shock reflection by large-angle wedges for compressible
flow modeled by the nonlinear wave equation is studied and a global theory of existence,
stability and regularity is established. Moreover, C0;1 is the optimal regularity for the
solutions across the degenerate sonic boundary. |
