1Shock wave — Bombshock redirects here. For the Transformers character, see Micromasters#Bombshock. For other uses, see shockwave. Schlieren photograph of an attached shock on a sharp nosed supersonic body. A shock wave (also called shock front or simply shock …
2Shock Wave (Six Flags Over Texas) — Infobox roller coaster name = Shock Wave caption = Vertical loop on the Shock Wave coaster at Six Flags over Texas location = Six Flags Over Texas type = Steel manufacturer = Anton Schwarzkopf designer = Werner Stengel model = custom looping… …
3oblique shock wave — A shock wave that forms on a sharp pointed object moving through the air at a speed greater than the speed of sound. Air passing through an oblique shock wave is slowed down but if the wave angle is less than about 70°, it still will be… …
4Shock factor — is a commonly used figure of merit for estimating the amount of shock experienced by a naval target from an underwater explosion as a function of explosive charge weight, slant range, and depression angle (between vessel and charge).* R is the… …
5Oblique shock — A small scale X 15 placed in a NASA supersonic wind tunnel produces an oblique shock wave at the nose of the model (along with other shocks). An oblique shock wave, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the incident upstream flow… …
6Bow shock (aerodynamics) — For other uses, see Bow shock. A blunt body fired from a gun against a supersonic flow in a wind tunnel, producing a bow shock. A bow shock, also called a detached shock, is a curved, stationary shock wave that is found in supersonic flow past a… …
7Mach wave — A wave formed in front of a body when it is moving at the speed of sound. The waves do not move ahead of the body; they bunch up and form a Mach wave. A Mach wave is at right angles to the direction of movement of the body and is called a normal… …
8Mach wave — In fluid dynamics, a Mach wave is a pressure wave traveling with the speed of sound caused by a slight change of pressure added to a compressible flow. These weak waves can combine in supersonic flow to become a shock wave if sufficient Mach… …
9inclined shock — A shock wave that forms on a sharp pointed object moving through the air at a speed greater than the speed of sound. Air passing through an inclined shock wave is slowed down, but if the wave angle is less than about 70° it still will be… …
10bow wave — /bow/ 1. the wave generated on either side of a vessel s bow by its forward movement through the water. 2. a type of shock wave formed in front of a body moving at supersonic speed. [1875 80] * * * ▪ physics progressive disturbance… …
