Oblique Shock and Expansion Waves Introduction Supersonic flow over a corner.

Oblique Shock Relations …Mach angle (stronger disturbances) A Mach wave is a limiting case for oblique shocks. i. e. infinitely weak oblique shock

Oblique shock wave geometry Given : Find : or Given : Find :

Galilean Invariance : The tangential component of the flow velocity is preserved. Superposition of uniform velocity does not change static variables. Continuity eq : Momentum eq : • parallel to the shock The tangential component of the flow velocity is preserved across an oblique shock wave • Normal to the shock

Energy eq : The changes across an oblique shock wave are governed by the normal component of the free-stream velocity.

Same algebra as applied to the normal shock equction For a calorically perfect gas and Special case normal shock Note：changes across a normal shock wave the functions of M 1 only changes across an oblique shock wave the functions of M 1 &

The expansion fan is a continuous expansion region. Composed of an infinite number of Mach waves. Forward Mach line : Rearward Mach line : 4. Streamlines through an expansion wave are smooth curved lines.
