Abstract

This paperinvestigates numerically the shock waveinteraction with aV-shapedheavy/light
interface. For numerical simulations, we choose six distinct vertex angles (θ = 40◦,60◦,90◦,120◦,150◦,
and 170◦), five distinct shock wave strengths (Ms = 1.12,1.22,1.30,1.60, and 2.0), and three different
Atwood numbers (At = −0.32,−0.77, and−0.87). A two-dimensional space of compressible two
componentEulerequationsaresolvedusingathird-order modaldiscontinuous Galerkin approach for
the simulations. The present findings demonstrate that the vertex angle has a crucial influence on the
shock wave interaction with the V-shaped heavy/light interface. The vertex angle significantly affects
the flow field, interface deformation, wave patterns, spike generation, and vorticity production. As
the vertex angle decreases, the vorticity production becomes more dominant. A thorough analysis of
the vertex angle effect identifies the factors that propel the creation of vorticity during the interaction
phase. Notably, smaller vertex angles lead to stronger vorticity generation due to a steeper density
gradient, while larger angles result in weaker, more dispersed vorticity and a less complex interaction.
Moreover, kinetic energy and enstrophy both dramatically rise with decreasing vortex angles. A
detailed analysis is also carried out to analyze the vertex angle effects on the temporal variations
of interface features. Finally, the impacts of different Mach and Atwood numbers on the V-shaped interface are briefly presented
