This paper describes the numerical computation of a shock wave refracting at a gas interface. We study a plane shock in carbon dioxide striking a plane gas interface between the carbon dioxide and methane at angle of incidence IT;. The primary focus here is the structure of the wave system as a function of the angle of incidence for a fixed (weak) incident shock strength. The computational results agree well with the shock polar theory for regular refraction including accurately predicting the transition between a reflected expansion and a reflected shock. They also yield a detailed picture of the transition from regular to irregular refraction and the development of a precursor wave system. In particular, the computations indicate that for the specific case studied the precursor shock weakens to become a band of compression waves as the angle of incidence increases in the irregular regime.
