mach bow wave
1Mach wavelet — Small shock waves, usually present in large numbers in boundary layers and around the surface of a supersonic body. The bow wave becomes progressively weaker as it gets farther from the aircraft, eventually becoming a very weak Mach wave. Also… …
2Bow 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… …
3Shock 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 …
4shock 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,… …

7detachment Mach number — The free stream Mach number above which there is only a small movement of the bow shock wave with an increase in speed. It indicates the upper limit of a transonic region …
8Components 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… …
9Planing (sailing) — ).Planing allows the boat to go faster by using its speed and hull shape to lift the front part of the hull out of the water. The boat travels on top of the water, greatly reducing the hydrodynamic drag on the vessel. The increase in aerodynamic… …
