| Abstract: | A special poster session was run during the 18th International Symposium on Shock Waves, held on July 21 – 26, 1991, in Sendai, Japan. The purpose of this session was to compare various CFD schemes which are useful for simulating shock wave phenomena. A 2-D planar shock wave diffraction over a 90 degree sharp corner was selected as a bench mark problem. The problem specification and the output format are described below. Experimental outputs for the close flow conditions to the computational ones were also called for. Twenty six poster presentations were made at this session and the majority of the posters reflected a standard of excellence that warrants publication in the Shock Waves journal. Therefore these results are reproduced here. However, since there is a limit on the available page numbers, it was not possible to publish all the posters that were presented at the special poster session. We express our sincere thanks to all the participants in this session. |
