Abstract: Abstract An asymptotic analysis of the regular and Mach reflection of weak shocks leads to shock reflection problems for the unsteady transonic small disturbance equation. Numerical solutions of this equation resolve the von Neumann triple point paradox for weak shock Mach reflection. Related equations describe steady transonic shock reflections, weak shock focusing, and nonlinear hyperbolic waves at caustics.
