  2. Isentropic nozzle flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_Nozzle_Flow

    The isentropic stagnation state is the state a flowing fluid would attain if it underwent a reversible adiabatic deceleration to zero velocity. There are both actual and the isentropic stagnation states for a typical gas or vapor. Sometimes it is advantageous to make a distinction between the actual and the isentropic stagnation states.

  3. Isentropic process - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_process

    In fluid dynamics, an isentropic flow is a fluid flow that is both adiabatic and reversible. That is, no heat is added to the flow, and no energy transformations occur due to friction or dissipative effects. For an isentropic flow of a perfect gas, several relations can be derived to define the pressure, density and temperature along a streamline.

  4. Isentropic analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_analysis

    Isentropic analysis of the 300 kelvin isotrope and the weather satellite image of clouds during a blizzard in Colorado. In meteorology, isentropic analysis is a technique used to find the vertical and horizontal motion of airmasses during an adiabatic (i.e. non-heat-exchanging) process above the planetary boundary layer.

  5. Fanno flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanno_flow

    Point 3 labels the transition from isentropic to Fanno flow. Points 4 and 5 give the pre- and post-shock wave conditions, and point E is the exit from the duct. Figure 4 The H-S diagram is depicted for the conditions of Figure 3. Entropy is constant for isentropic flow, so the conditions at point 1 move down vertically to point 3.

  6. Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_expansion_fan

    Since the process is isentropic, the stagnation properties (e.g. the total pressure and total temperature) remain constant across the fan. The theory was described by Theodor Meyer on his thesis dissertation in 1908, along with his advisor Ludwig Prandtl, who had already discussed the problem a year before. [2] [3]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_function

    For isentropic compression, ν ( M 2 ) = ν ( M 1 ) − θ {\displaystyle \nu (M_{2})=\nu (M_{1})-\theta \,} where, θ {\displaystyle \theta } is the absolute value of the angle through which the flow turns, M {\displaystyle M} is the flow Mach number and the suffixes "1" and "2" denote the initial and final conditions respectively.

  9. Shocks and discontinuities (magnetohydrodynamics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shocks_and_discontinuities...

    In magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), shocks and discontinuities are transition layers where properties of a plasma change from one equilibrium state to another. The relation between the plasma properties on both sides of a shock or a discontinuity can be obtained from the conservative form of the MHD equations, assuming conservation of mass, momentum, energy and of .
