Shock wave reflection over wedges: A benchmark test for CFD and experiments (Q1371505)

In 1992 a benchmark test for shock wave reflection over wedges was announced. International scientists who are interested in shock wave research were invited to participate. The benchmark test aimed at comparison of various advanced numerical schemes as well as experimental results. During the last three years more than twenty results, including both CFD and experiments, were collected from all over the world. The collected results are divided into four parts: the first part covers compulsory numerical tests in which a \(256\times 256\) non-adaptive grid is used; the second includes optional numerical tests in which numerical results using finer grids or adaptive grids are accepted; and the third catalogue deals with experimental tests and the last one covers numerical visualizations that show an encouraging way for direct comparison between experimental and numerical results.
