Problem 61P
Consider supersonic airflow approaching the nose of a two-dimensional wedge and experiencing an oblique shock. Under what conditions does an oblique shock detach from the nose of the wedge and form a bow wave? What is the numerical value of the shock angle of the detached shock alone nose?
ANSWER:
Step 1 of 2
Given supersonic airflow approaching the nose of a two-dimensional wedge. A detached oblique shock occurs.
The condition that allows detached oblique to form.For the oblique shock to become curved and detach from the nose of the wedge, the wedge half-angle must be larger than the maximum deflection angle , resulting in the detached oblique shock or bow wave.
