Standing oblique detonation engines (SODEs) have great potential in the field of air-breathing hypersonic propulsion, making it necessary to carry out an in-depth study of their key flow phenomena. In this paper, the asymmetric reflection of oblique detonation waves (ODWs) and oblique shock waves (OSWs) is investigated, and the transition mechanism between regular and Mach reflections is illustrated through theoretical analysis. In determining the reflection shock on the ODW side, two hypotheses, frozen chemistry and chemical equilibrium, are used to obtain two different sonic-point criteria, and the RR →MR transition occurs between these two criteria. The von Neumann criterion is derived based on the asymmetric reflection modeling of the leading inert shock of ODW and the OSW. The MR →RR transition point obtained through inviscid numerical simulation is slightly larger than this von Neumann criterion. This study provides a preliminary investigation of the complex ODW-OSW reflection phenomena in SODE combustors.
