Introduction
An investigation was carried out into the transition between various types of reflection of converging cylindrical shock wave segments over various wedges, and the effect of the wave incidence angle and the Mach number of the incident wave on the reflection type. Such a reflection differs significantly from those of planar waves, as both the Mach number and the incident angle of the shock wave are time dependant. The transition conditions were examined in terms of transition criteria that have been suggested for planar waves in the literature.
