A random choice method for the numerical solution of steady, supersonic, two-dimensional flow and three-dimensional axisymmetric gas flows is presented. The random choice method uses exact solutions of Riemann problems and sampling techniques. It is applicable to steady, supersonic flows in more than one dimension because these flows are described by a hyperbolic system of conservation laws in two independent variables. The method is applied to a variety of supersonic shock wave diffraction problems and compared to solutions obtained with the method of characteristics. The main advantages of the method presented are its general applicability and its sharp resolution of discontinuities in the flow.
