2. Shock (fluid dynamics) - Wikipedia

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

   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 ...

4. 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.

5. 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 ...

6. 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 ...

7. 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]
