What is density ratio if Mach is infinite?

Higher density ratio is also one of the definitions of hypersonic flow. Density ratio across normal shock would reach 6 for calorically perfect gas (air or diatomic gas) at very high Mach numbers

How to Calculate Density Ratio when Mach Becomes Infinite?

Density Ratio when Mach Becomes Infinite calculator uses Density Ratio = (Specific Heat Ratio+1)/(Specific Heat Ratio-1) to calculate the Density Ratio, Density Ratio when Mach Becomes Infinite formula is defined as a measure of the ratio of the density of a fluid in a normal shock wave to the density of the same fluid in an oblique shock wave, which occurs when the Mach number becomes infinite in a compressible flow. Density Ratio is denoted by ρ_ratio symbol.
