Abstract

An explicit analytical solution to calculate the profiles after the shock collision with a planar contact surface is presented. The case when a shock is reflected after the incident shock refraction is considered. The goal of this work is to present explicit formulas to obtain the quantities behind the transmitted and reflected shocks valid for arbitrary initial preshock parameters.
