Abstract

The purpose of the study is to determine the conditions of Mach disk (direct shock wave) in a supersonic nonisobaric jet. Brief details on shock waves triple configurations, Mach reflection of a shock wave from a rigid wall and the axis of symmetry are given. Various known semi-empirical model of calculating the Mach disc diameter in a supersonic jet and its removal from the nozzle are discussed. It is shown that the Mach disk in the jet is corresponded by the so-called stationary Mach shock waves triple configuration, in which the intensity of the main shock (Mach disk) is the maximum possible for a given Mach number. The theoretical and calculative-experimental validation of the Mach disk formation model in a supersonic non-isobaric jet is provided. The results of calculation are in satisfactory match with experiment.

Keywords:

A stationary mach configuration, irregular reflection of shock, mach disk, mach stem, the regular reflection of shock, the triple point, triple configuration of shock waves,
