Shock-wave Diffraction

Shock-Wave Diffraction is a fluid dynamic phenomenon characterized by the bending and alteration of a shock wave's propagation path as it encounters and flows around a solid obstacle or geometric discontinuity, distinguishing it from planar or regular shock reflections by involving complex wavefront deformations and nonlinear interactions.
