  2. Shock (mechanics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_(mechanics)

    In mechanics and physics, shock is a sudden acceleration caused, for example, by impact, drop, kick, earthquake, or explosion. Shock is a transient physical excitation. Shock describes matter subject to extreme rates of force with respect to time. Shock is a vector that has units of an acceleration (rate of change of velocity).

  3. Normal shock tables - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_shock_tables

    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.

  4. Drilling formula sheets - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drilling_formula_sheets

    Drilling Formula Sheets is a set of Drilling Formulas used commonly by drilling engineers in the onshore and offshore oil drilling industry. They are used as part of a key piece of engineering work called Well Control .

  5. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    For a given Mach number, M 1, and corner angle, θ, the oblique shock angle, β, and the downstream Mach number, M 2, can be calculated. Unlike after a normal shock where M 2 must always be less than 1, in oblique shock M 2 can be supersonic (weak shock wave) or subsonic (strong shock wave). Weak solutions are often observed in flow geometries ...

  6. Moving shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_shock

    In fluid dynamics, a moving shock is a shock wave that is travelling through a fluid (often gaseous) medium with a velocity relative to the velocity of the fluid already making up the medium. [1] As such, the normal shock relations require modification to calculate the properties before and after the moving shock.

  7. Shock polar - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_polar

    Shock polar in the pressure ratio-flow deflection angle plane for a Mach number of 1.8 and a specific heat ratio 1.4. The minimum angle, , which an oblique shock can have is the Mach angle = ⁡ (/), where is the initial Mach number before the shock and the greatest angle corresponds to a normal shock.

  8. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Table_of_explosive...

    Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive. It is a key, directly measurable indicator of explosive performance, but depends on density which must always be specified, and may be too low if the test charge diameter is not large enough.

  9. Rankine–Hugoniot conditions - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rankine–Hugoniot_conditions

    A schematic diagram of a shock wave situation with the density , velocity , and temperature indicated for each region.. The Rankine–Hugoniot conditions, also referred to as Rankine–Hugoniot jump conditions or Rankine–Hugoniot relations, describe the relationship between the states on both sides of a shock wave or a combustion wave (deflagration or detonation) in a one-dimensional flow in ...
