14Bow string — A bow string joins the two ends of the bow stave and launches the arrow. Desirable properties include light weight, strength, resistance to abrasion, and resistance to water. Mass has most effect at the center of the string; one gram of extra… …
15shock 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,… …
16bow activator — a functional activator whose two halves are connected by a wire bow or safety pin loop; between the halves of the anterior area, a layer of rubber is attached as a shock absorber and to open the bite in front. Called also Schwarz a …
17Termination Shock — Heliosphäre unter Einfluss des interstellaren Gases. Eingezeichnet sind Voyager 1 und Voyager 2. Die Heliosphäre ist eine Blase um unser Sonnensystem herum, welche auf Grund der Verdrängung der interstellaren Materie durch den Sonnenwind besteht …
18Oblique 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… …
19Moving 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… …
