Abstract
The results of an experimental study of the diffraction of shock waves on plane-walled convex corners are given for a Mach number range from 1·0 to 5·0. The behaviour of the disturbances produced in the region perturbed by the corner are discussed. It is shown that the position of the slipstream and tail of the Prandtl-Meyer fan, and the velocities of the contact surface and second shock become independent of corner angle for angles greater than 75°. Comparisons with theoretical predictions of Jones, Martin & Thornhill (1951) and Parks (1952) are included. In most cases fair agreement is obtained.
