Reflection of disturbances caused by a weak energy-release source from a flat shock wave

The process of reflection of linear disturbances from a plane shock wave is considered in the case when these disturbances are caused by a weak energy-release source in a uniform supersonic flow of an inviscid non-heat-conducting gas. It is shown that, in the basic range of constitutive parameters, this interaction proceeds in such a way that the quantity characterizing the disturbance which provides a force load on the lateral surface of a body substantially changes when the reflection from the shock wave occurs.
