Types of Mach Reflection
The only type of Mach reflection possible in steady flow is direct Mach reflection, in which the Mach stem is convex away from the oncoming flow, and the slip plane slopes towards the reflection surface. In unsteady flow, the triple point will move away from the surface. In unsteady flow, it is also possible that the triple point remain stationary relative to the surface (stationary Mach reflection), or move toward the surface (inverse Mach reflection). In inverse Mach reflection, the Mach stem is convex toward the oncoming flow, and the slip plane curves away from the boundary.

Famous quotes containing the words types of, types, mach and/or reflection:
“Our children evaluate themselves based on the opinions we have of them. When we use harsh words, biting comments, and a sarcastic tone of voice, we plant the seeds of self-doubt in their developing minds.... Children who receive a steady diet of these types of messages end up feeling powerless, inadequate, and unimportant. They start to believe that they are bad, and that they can never do enough.”
—Stephanie Martson (20th century)
“He’s one of those know-it-all types that, if you flatter the wig off him, he chatter like a goony bird at mating time.”
—Michael Blankfort. Lewis Milestone. Johnson (Reginald Gardner)
“Physics is experience, arranged in economical order.”
—Ernst Mach (1838–1916)
“Women generally should be taught that the rough life men must needs lead, in order to be healthy, useful and manly men, would preclude the possibility of a great degree of physical perfection, especially in color. It is not a bad reflection to know that in all probability the human animal has endowments enough without aspiring to be the beauty of all creation as well as the ruler.”
—Caroline Nichols Churchill (1833–?)
