  2. Oblique shock - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oblique_shock

    A θ-β-M diagram, common in most compressible flow textbooks, shows a series of curves that will indicate θ MAX for each Mach number. The θ-β-M relationship will produce two β angles for a given θ and M 1, with the larger angle called a strong shock and the smaller called a weak shock. The weak shock is almost always seen experimentally.

  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. Prandtl–Meyer expansion fan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prandtl–Meyer_expansion_fan

    The first Mach line is at an angle = ⁡ with respect to the flow direction, and the last Mach line is at an angle = ⁡ with respect to final flow direction. Since the flow turns in small angles and the changes across each expansion wave are small, the whole process is isentropic. [ 1 ]

  5. Isentropic expansion waves - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isentropic_expansion_waves

    These waves are studied to obtain a relation between deflection angle and Mach number. Each wave in this case is a Mach wave, so it is at an angle = ⁡, where M is the Mach number immediately before the wave. Expansion waves are divergent because as the flow expands the value of Mach number increases, thereby decreasing the Mach angle.

  6. 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.

  7. Taylor–Maccoll flow - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taylor–Maccoll_flow

    The equation must satisfy the condition that ′ = (no penetration on the solid surface) and also must correspond to conditions behind the shock wave at =, where is the half-angle of shock cone, which must be determined as part of the solution for a given incoming flow Mach number and . The Taylor–Maccoll equation has no known explicit ...

  8. Spherical coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spherical_coordinate_system

    The physics convention.Spherical coordinates (r, θ, φ) as commonly used: (ISO 80000-2:2019): radial distance r (slant distance to origin), polar angle θ (angle with respect to positive polar axis), and azimuthal angle φ (angle of rotation from the initial meridian plane).

  9. Theta graph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Theta_graph

    Like Yao Graphs, a -graph contains at most one edge per cone; where they differ is how that edge is selected. Whereas Yao Graphs will select the nearest vertex according to the metric space of the graph, the Θ {\displaystyle \Theta } -graph defines a fixed ray contained within each cone (conventionally the bisector of the cone) and selects the ...
