  2. Inlet cone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inlet_cone

    An inlet cone, as part of an Oswatitsch-type inlet used on a supersonic aircraft or missile, is the 3D-surface on which supersonic ram compression for a gas turbine engine or ramjet combustor takes place through oblique shock waves. Slowing the air to low supersonic speeds using a cone minimizes loss in total pressure (increases pressure recovery).

  3. Blast wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blast_wave

    Blast waves cause damage by a combination of the significant compression of the air in front of the wave (forming a shock front) and the subsequent wind that follows. [15] A blast wave travels faster than the speed of sound, and the passage of the shock wave usually lasts only a few milliseconds. Like other types of explosions, a blast wave can ...

  4. Shock tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_tube

    Because the molar volume of gas is much less, the jet effect is a fraction of that for compressed-gas driven shock tubes. To date, the smaller size and lower peak pressures generated by these shock tubes make them most useful for preliminary, nondestructive testing of materials, validation of measurement equipment such as high speed pressure ...

  5. Drag-reducing aerospike - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drag-reducing_aerospike

    A drag-reducing aerospike is a device (see nose cone design) used to reduce the forebody pressure aerodynamic drag of blunt bodies at supersonic speeds. The aerospike creates a detached shock ahead of the body. Between the shock and the forebody a zone of recirculating flow occurs which acts like a more streamlined forebody profile, reducing ...

  6. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In this case, the gas ahead of the shock is stationary (in the laboratory frame) and the gas behind the shock can be supersonic in the laboratory frame. The shock propagates with a wavefront which is normal (at right angles) to the direction of flow. The speed of the shock is a function of the original pressure ratio between the two bodies of gas.

  7. Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rolls-Royce/Snecma_Olympus_593

    The Rolls-Royce/Snecma Olympus 593 was an Anglo-French turbojet with reheat, which powered the supersonic airliner Concorde.It was initially a joint project between Bristol Siddeley Engines Limited (BSEL) and Snecma, derived from the Bristol Siddeley Olympus 22R engine.

  8. Taylor–Maccoll flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor–Maccoll_flow

    A conical shock wave can form in this situation, with the vertex of the shock wave lying at the vertex of the solid cone. If it were a two-dimensional problem, i.e., for a supersonic flow past a wedge, then the incoming stream would have deflected through an angle χ {\displaystyle \chi } upon crossing the shock wave so that streamlines behind ...

  9. Detonation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Detonation

    When used in explosive devices, the main cause of damage from a detonation is the supersonic blast front (a powerful shock wave) in the surrounding area. This is a significant distinction from deflagrations where the exothermic wave is subsonic and maximum pressures for non-metal specks of dust are approximately 7–10 times atmospheric ...
