Abstract

The effect of surface roughness on the transition form regualr (RR) to Mach reflection (MR) over straight wedges in pseudo-steady flows was investigated both experimentally and analytically. A model for predicting the RR \rightleftarrows$ MR transition in the (Mi, θw)-plane was developed (Mi is the incident shock wave Mach number and θw is the reflecting wedge angle). Its valdity was checked agnainst experimental results. Since the experimental results are limited to the ranges 1 < Mi < 2 and surface roughness heights of 0 < ε [les ] 0.2 cm, the proposed model is applicalbe to these ranges only. In the proposed model (the boundary-layer displacement-thickness model), the RR \rightleftarrows$ MR transition is related to the boundary - layer thickness which in turn depneds on the surface roughness.
