regular-shock-reflectionlisted

Use when you must compute the regular reflection of an oblique shock impinging on a wall or symmetry plane: solve the weak-branch incident wave angle at the upstream Mach number and deflection, march the state behind it, solve the reflected shock that turns the flow back parallel to the wall, and assemble the post-reflection state from the two shock ratio products. Produces the incident and reflected wave angles, the intermediate and post-reflection Mach numbers, the pressure, density, temperature and stagnation-pressure ratios, the reflected-shock detachment limit and the regular-versus-Mach verdict. Trigger: regular reflection, reflected shock, wall impingement, symmetry plane, two-shock interaction, Mach reflection, post-reflection state.

# Regular Shock Reflection (aerodynamics/high-speed/regular-shock-reflection) When an oblique shock from a wedge impinges on a wall or symmetry plane in supersonic flow, the wall turns the flow back parallel to itself and a second oblique shock, the reflected shock, leaves the impingement point. This leaf computes the classical two-shock REGULAR reflection: it solves the theta-beta-M relation for the incident weak shock at the upstream Mach number M1 and deflection angle theta, marches the full state behind the incident shock, solves theta-beta-M again on that downstream state for the reflected shock that turns the flow back by the same deflection, and multiplies the two sets of oblique-shock ratios into the post-reflection state. It judges the interaction regular when the required reflected deflection stays below the reflected-shock detachment limit at the intermediate Mach number M2, and Mach (irregular) otherwise, as the detachment-criterion flag. It pairs with aerodynamics/high-speed/ oblique-shock for the single-shock weak and strong branch relations it reuses, with aerodynamics/high-speed/normal-shock for the normal-shock total-pressure formula evaluated at Mn1, and with aerodynamics/high-speed/ shock-expansion-airfoil where every surface shock is itself an oblique-shock solve of this kind. Mach-reflection flowfield details (triple point, Mach stem, slip line) are not modeled, and the von Neumann transition criterion is not implemented. Deterministic, pure stdlib. ##
