  2. 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.

  3. Dimensionless numbers in fluid mechanics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimensionless_numbers_in...

    Dimensionless numbers (or characteristic numbers) have an important role in analyzing the behavior of fluids and their flow as well as in other transport phenomena. [1] They include the Reynolds and the Mach numbers, which describe as ratios the relative magnitude of fluid and physical system characteristics, such as density, viscosity, speed of sound, and flow speed.

  4. Seat belt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seat_belt

    A seat belt applies an opposing force to the driver and passengers to prevent them from falling out or making contact with the interior of the car (especially preventing contact with, or going through, the windshield). Seat belts are considered primary restraint systems (PRSs), because of their vital role in occupant safety.

  5. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    Within the θ-β-M equation, a maximum corner angle, θ MAX, exists for any upstream Mach number. When θ > θ MAX, the oblique shock wave is no longer attached to the corner and is replaced by a detached bow shock. A θ-β-M diagram, common in most compressible flow textbooks, shows a series of curves that will indicate θ MAX for

  6. Sabelt - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sabelt

    Sabelt S.p.A. is an Italian company founded in 1972 [1] by Piero and Giorgio Marsiaj, that designs and manufactures original equipment (OEM) car seats, seat belts, motorsport products, and seatbelts for military, aviation, and aerospace applications. [2] The company's name originates from the English word Safety Belt. [3]

  7. Thickness-to-chord ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thickness-to-chord_ratio

    So, the main reason for decreasing the blade section thickness to chord ratio is to delay the compressibility effect related to higher Mach numbers, delaying the onset of a shock wave formation. The natural outcome of this requirement is a wing design that is thin and wide, which has a low thickness-to-chord ratio.

  8. Prandtl–Meyer function - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_function

    where is the Prandtl–Meyer function, is the Mach number of the flow and is the ratio of the specific heat capacities. By convention, the constant of integration is selected such that ν ( 1 ) = 0. {\displaystyle \nu (1)=0.\,}

  9. Mach number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mach_number

    The subsonic speed range is that range of speeds within which, all of the airflow over an aircraft is less than Mach 1. The critical Mach number (Mcrit) is lowest free stream Mach number at which airflow over any part of the aircraft first reaches Mach 1. So the subsonic speed range includes all speeds that are less than Mcrit. Transonic: 0.8–1.2
