    English: Subsonic (1) and trans-sonic (2) airfoils at identical Mach number. A: Supersonic flow region . B: Shock wave . C: Area of stalled flow . On the trans-sonic (or supercritical) airfoil, the deceleration of the flow on the top surface, and the strength of the shockwave with which the flow returns to a subsonic regime, are reduced.

  5. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    An oblique shock at the nose of a T-38 aircraft is made visible through Schlieren photography. An oblique shock wave is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air. It occurs when a supersonic flow encounters a corner that effectively turns the flow into itself and compresses. [1]

  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. Mach wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_wave

    Such a shock wave is called a Mach stem or Mach front. Thus, it is possible to have shockless compression or expansion in a supersonic flow by having the production of Mach waves sufficiently spaced (cf. isentropic compression in supersonic flows). A Mach wave is the weak limit of an oblique shock wave where time averages of flow quantities don ...

  9. 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).
