oblique-shock pressure
1Oblique 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… …
2Shock 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 …
3shock wave — An area or sheet of discontinuity (i.e., of abrupt changes in conditions) set up in a supersonic field of flow, through which the fluid undergoes a finite decrease in velocity accompanied by a marked increase in pressure, density, temperature,… …
4Moving shock — In fluid dynamics, a moving shock is a shock wave that is traveling through a fluid (often gaseous) medium with a velocity relative to the velocity of the fluid already making up the medium.[1] As such, the normal shock relations require… …
5Components of jet engines — Diagram of a typical gas turbine jet engine. Air is compressed by the fan blades as it enters the engine, and it is mixed and burned with fuel in the combustion section. The hot exhaust gases provide forward thrust and turn the turbines which… …
6Inlet cone — Infobox Aviation name=Inlet cone caption=Inlet cone of a MiG 21MFInlet cones (sometimes called shock cones) are a component of some supersonic aircraft. They are primarily used on ramjets, such as the turboramjets of the SR 71 or the pure ramjets …
7Intake ramp — An intake ramp is a rectangular, plate like device within the air intake of a jet engine, designed to generate a shock wave to aid the inlet compression process at supersonic speeds. The ramp sits at an acute angle to deflect the intake air from… …
8Compressible flow — is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids in which the fluid density varies significantly in response to a change in pressure. Compressibility effects are typically considered significant if the Mach number (the ratio of the flow… …
9Mach number — (mathrm{Ma} or M) (generally pronEng|ˈmɑːk, sometimes IPA|/ˈmɑːx/ or IPA|/ˈmæk/) is the speed of an object moving through air, or any fluid substance, divided by the speed of sound as it is in that substance. It is commonly used to represent an… …
10Prandtl-Meyer expansion fan — A Prandtl Meyer expansion fan is a centered expansion process, which turns a supersonic flow around a convex corner. The fan consists of infinite number of Mach waves, diverging from a sharp corner. In case of a smooth corner, these waves can be… …
