The weak Mach reflection phenomenon has been analyzed by applying both the shock dynamics approach and the disturbance propagation concept. The analysis which is based on modified Whitham's ray shock theory results in analytical expressions for the triple point trajectory angle, and the shape of the curved Mach stem.
