ASE 342 - Aerodynamics II: Example
Example
Consider a Mach 3 flow. It is desired to slow the flow
down to a subsonic speed. Two ways to achieve this:
passing the flow through (1) a normal shock, (2) an
oblique and a normal shock subsequently. Find the total
pressure ratio for both cases. (𝛽 = 40° for Case 2)

From the 𝜃 – 𝛽 – 𝑀 plot, for 𝑀1 = 3 and 𝛽 = 40°, we find
𝜃 = 22°

Mach reflection
Occurs when 𝑀2 is lower than the minimum Mach # for
the given 𝜃
In such a case, O.S. does not reach the upper wall through
a straight line
It bends as shown in the figure, so that the flow
passes through a normal shock wave at the
upper surface
This way the streamlines at the upper
surface remain parallel to the wall
Can be treated numerically

Since the process is isentropic, the same relations can be
used for isentropic compression!
