Experimental investigation of tripping between regular and Mach reflection in the dual-solution domain

Abstract

Experiments were conducted in the Mach 4.0 Ludwieg tube facility at the California Institute of Technology. First, the hysteresis phenomenon, first proposed by [1] is explored. Second, tripping from regular reflection to Mach reflection by depositing laser energy onto one of the wedges is considered. These experimental results are compared with numerical computations and theoretical estimates.
