Title: Regular reflection of an oblique shock in a plane flow of an ideally dissociating gas in the presence of a transverse magnetic field
Abstract: An oblique regular reflection is considered of a plane shock wave from a rigid wall in a steady flow of a perfect, ideally dissociating gas with infinite conductivity in the presence of a magnetic field normal to the plane of flow. A flow behind the reflected shock wave is studied in the vicinity of the triple point, i. e. the point at which the curvature of the shock wave becomes different from zero. An assumption that a first order discontinuity occurs at the triple point, is used to obtain an expression for the jump in the derivatives of the flow parameters on the streamline emerging from this point and for the jumps in the current density and vorticity. The properties of flow at the triple point regarded as a singularity on the reflected shock wave were first studied in [1]. Short conclusions derived from the theoretical papers dealing with the subject were given in [2]. Experimental data concerning the shock wave angles at the triple point were given in [3, 4]. Comparison of the theoretical and experimental results was presented in [5, 6], and [7, 8] analyse the Mach reflection. Theoretical and experimental results concerning the magnetohydrodynamic interaction between the reflected shock wave and a homogeneous magnetic field were given in [9]. The present paper represents a generalization of [10] to the case of an ideally conducting, dissociating gas in the presence of a transverse magnetic field.
