Mach Wave behind Shock with Mach Infinity Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Mach Number ahead of shock = Mach Number-Local Shock Velocity/Speed of Sound
M₁ = M-W/c_speed
This formula uses 4 Variables

Variables Used

Mach Number ahead of shock - Mach Number ahead of shock is the Mach number over the body before a shockwave has occurred.
Mach Number - Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.
Local Shock Velocity - (Measured in Meter per Second) - Local shock velocity, is the shock velocity after the shock wave.
Speed of Sound - (Measured in Meter per Second) - The speed of sound is defined as the dynamic propagation of sound waves.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Mach Number: 8 --> No Conversion Required
Local Shock Velocity: 982 Meter per Second --> 982 Meter per Second No Conversion Required
Speed of Sound: 343 Meter per Second --> 343 Meter per Second No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

M₁ = M-W/c_speed --> 8-982/343

Evaluating ... ...

M₁ = 5.13702623906706

Grid Point Calculation for Shock Waves

Go Grid Points = (Distance from X-Axis-Body Shape in Hypersonic Flow)/Local Shock-detachment Distance

Mach Wave behind Shock

Go Mach Number behind shock = (Freestream Velocity-Local Shock Velocity for Mach Wave)/Speed of Sound

Local Shock Velocity Equation

Go Local Shock Velocity = Speed of Sound*(Mach Number-Mach Number ahead of shock)

Mach Wave behind Shock with Mach Infinity

Go Mach Number ahead of shock = Mach Number-Local Shock Velocity/Speed of Sound

Mach Wave behind Shock with Mach Infinity Formula

Mach Number ahead of shock = Mach Number-Local Shock Velocity/Speed of Sound
M₁ = M-W/c_speed

what is a shock wave

Shock wave, strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure
