In aerodynamics, the normal shock tables are a series of tabulated data listing the various properties before and after the occurrence of a normal shock wave. [1] With a given upstream Mach number , the post-shock Mach number can be calculated along with the pressure , density , temperature , and stagnation pressure ratios.
Supersonic flow encounters a wedge and is uniformly deflected forming an oblique shock. This chart shows the oblique shock angle, β, as a function of the corner angle, θ, for a few constant M 1 lines. The red line separates the strong and weak solutions. The blue line represents the point when the downstream Mach number becomes sonic.
Supersonic flow around a conventional wing generates compressive sonic shock waves at the leading and trailing edges, with an expansion wave in between them. These shock waves correspond to pressure changes which impede airflow, known as wave drag. In the Busemann biplane, the forward high pressure shock wave is created internally and reflects ...
Shock is formed due to coalescence of various small pressure pulses. Sound waves are pressure waves and it is at the speed of the sound wave the disturbances are communicated in the medium. When an object is moving in a flow field the object sends out disturbances which propagate at the speed of sound and adjusts the remaining flow field ...
The shock layer is the region between the plate surface and the boundary layer. This shock layer be further subdivided into layer of viscid and inviscid flow, according to the values of Mach number, Reynolds Number and Surface Temperature. However, if the entire layer is viscous, it is called as merged shock layer.
Next, the flow follows the Fanno line until a shock changes the flow from supersonic to subsonic. The flow then follows the Fanno line again, almost reaching a choked condition before exiting the duct. Figure 5 Fanno and Rayleigh Line Intersection Chart. The Fanno flow model is often used in the design and analysis of nozzles.
It occurs when a supersonic flow encounters a body, around which the necessary deviation angle of the flow is higher than the maximum achievable deviation angle for an attached oblique shock (see detachment criterion [1]). Then, the oblique shock transforms in a curved detached shock wave. As bow shocks occur for high flow deflection angles ...
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.
