Popis: A similarity law, which follows from the equations of short waves, describing the motion of a gas with the reflection of a shock wave of small amplitude from a rigid wedge, is formulated. To determine the limits of the applicability of this law, the results of an analysis of the Mach reflection of shock waves of moderate intensity are given. In the calculations, a constant aperture angle of the wedge and a critical angle of incidence of the waves were assumed, and a change in the ratio of the specific heat capacities was accompanied by a variation of the relative excess pressure in the oncoming flow. With such an approach, data obtained for one gas can be used for modelling phenomena in another.
