To do: Calculate turning angle θ, Ma1,n, air properties P2 and T2, and Mach number Ma2. β Assumptions and Approximations: Steady, ideal gas.

This form calculates properties of air flow through an oblique shock wave. The required input is the Mach number of the upstream flow and the wedge angle. The gas is assumed to be ideal air.

Oblique Shock Chart 1 plots shock wave angle (β) vs. deflection angle (θ) for various upstream (M1) and downstream (M2) Mach numbers. Essential for compressible flow analysis in aerospace engineering.

This chart shows the oblique shock angle, β, as a function of the corner angle, θ, for a few constant M 1 lines. The red line separates the strong and weak solutions.

What is a shock wave? — Normal and oblique shock waves. This oblique shock calculator will help determine the fluid flow properties for an oblique shock wave. A shock wave is most commonly …

A θ-β-M Diagram shows the relations between the deflection angle θ, the shock angle β and the Mach number M for an oblique shock.

The Mach wave angle is dependent on the free stream Mach number. The relation between the free stream Mach number and the Mach angle is illustrated in Figure 1 below.

Solve the theta-beta-Mach equation to find shock angle, downstream Mach number, and property ratios for supersonic flow over wedges.

Jun 24, 2025 · The calculator is primarily used to analyze the relationship between deflection angle, shock angle, and Mach number in supersonic flow conditions. This allows engineers to model …
