Two-dimensional numerical study of planar shock-wave/moving-body interactions - Part II: Non-classical shock-wave/moving-body interactions

The interaction of a planar shock wave with a body moving at supersonic speed is considered, with particular attention to those interactions where the bow wave is not an attached planar shock wave. Part I listed four types of shock-wave/moving-body interaction all of which are classified as shock-on-shock interactions. The shock-wave/moving-body interaction classification is expanded here, to consider non-classical interaction types. Transition criteria between the various interaction types have been derived using a pseudo-steady analytical model where possible. The existence of the new interaction types and the transition criteria between them has been confirmed numerically using the model presented in Part I.
