Abstract: | The pattern of shock wave reflection over a wedge is, in general, either a regular reflection or a Mach reflection, depending
on wedge angles, shock wave Mach numbers, and specific heat ratios of gases. However, regular and Mach reflections can coexist,
in particular, over a three-dimensional wedge surface, whose inclination angles locally vary normal to the direction of shock
propagation. This paper reports a result of diffuse double exposure holographic interferometric observations of shock wave
reflections over a skewed wedge surface placed in a 100 × 180 mm shock tube. The wedge consists of a straight generating line
whose local inclination angle varies continuously from 30° to 60°. Painting its surface with fluorescent spray paint and irradiating
its surface with a collimated object beam at a time interval of a few microseconds, we succeeded in visualizing three-dimensional
shock reflection over the skewed wedge surface. Experiments were performed at shock Mach numbers, 1.55, 2.02, and 2.53 in
air. From reconstructed holographic images, we estimated critical transition angles at these shock wave Mach numbers and found
that these were very close to those over straight wedges. This is attributable to the flow three-dimensionality.
