  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. Moving shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moving_shock

    This diagram shows the gas-relative and shock-relative velocities used for the theoretical moving shock equations. To derive the theoretical equations for a moving shock, one may start by denoting the region in front of the shock as subscript 1, with the subscript 2 defining the region behind the shock.

  4. 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 ...

  5. Shock-capturing method - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock-capturing_method

    In computational fluid dynamics, shock-capturing methods are a class of techniques for computing inviscid flows with shock waves.The computation of flow containing shock waves is an extremely difficult task because such flows result in sharp, discontinuous changes in flow variables such as pressure, temperature, density, and velocity across the shock.

  6. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium. Like an ordinary wave, a shock wave carries energy and can propagate through a medium, but is characterized by an abrupt, nearly discontinuous, change in pressure , temperature , and ...

  7. Overpressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Overpressure

    Overpressure psi (kPa; bar) Effect on buildings and people within 1 (6.9; 0.069) Window glass shatters; Light injuries from fragments occur; 2 (14; 0.14) Moderate damage to houses (windows and doors blown out and severe damage to roofs)

  8. Table of explosive detonation velocities - Wikipedia

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

    This is a compilation of published detonation velocities for various high explosive compounds. Detonation velocity is the speed with which the detonation shock wave travels through the explosive.

  9. 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 i
