What is shock wave?
A shock wave is an extremely thin region, typically on the order of 10- 5 cm, across which the flow properties can change drastically. The shock wave is usually at an oblique angle to the flow, however, there are many cases where we are interested in a shock wave normal to the flow, In both cases, the shock wave is an almost explosive compression process, where the pressure increases almost discontinuously across the wave.
How to Calculate Static Pressure ahead of Normal Shock using Normal Shock Momentum Equation?
Static Pressure ahead of Normal Shock using Normal Shock Momentum Equation calculator uses Static Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock = Static pressure Behind Normal shock+Density Behind Normal Shock*Velocity Downstream of Shock^2-Density Ahead of Normal Shock*Velocity Upstream of Shock^2 to calculate the Static Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock, The Static Pressure ahead of normal shock using normal shock momentum equation formula is defined as the function of downstream static pressure, upstream and downstream velocity across the normal shock. Static Pressure Ahead of Normal Shock is denoted by P1 symbol.
