The equations provide relations for continuous one-dimensional flow, normal and oblique shock waves, and Prandtl-Meyer expansions for both perfect and imperfect gases. The tables present useful dimensionless ratios for continuous one-dimen- ‘tional flow and for normal shock waves as functions of Mach number for air considered as a perfect gas. One series of charts presents the characteristics of the flow of air (considered a perfect 908) for oblique shock waves and for cones in a supersonic air stream. A second series shows the effects of calorie imperfec- tions on continuous one-dimensional flow and on the flow theough normal and oblique shock waves. INTRODUCTION ‘The practical analysis of compressible flow involves fre- quent application of a few basic results. A convenient compilation of equations, tables, and charts embodying these results is therefore of great assistance in both research and design. ‘The present report makes one of the first such compilations (ref. 1) more readily available in a revised and extended form. The revisions include a complete rewriting of the lists of equations, as well as the correction of certain typographical errors which appeared in. the earlier work. ‘The extensions are primarily in the directions dictated by increasing flight speeds, that is, to higher Mach numbers and to higher temperatures with the accompanying gaseous imperfections. Compilations similar to those of reference 1 have been given in other publications, as, for example, references 2 through 6. These references have been utilized in extending the tables and charts to higher values of the Mach number. ‘The extension to imperfect gases is based on the relations presented in references 7 and 8 SYMBOLS AND NOTATION PRIMARY SYMBOLS a speed of sound A cross-sectional area of stream tube or channel { new Stare foree 125) normal-force coefficient for cones, ™ specific heat at constant pressure specific heat at constant volume enthalpy per unit mass, w-+po characteristic reference length v Mach number, pressure ? dynamic pressure,e V"/2 hheat added per unit mass gas constant Reynolds number, °V! base area of cone entropy per unit, mass absolute temperature ? internal energy per unit mass 1 specific volume, + pei "3 velocity components parallel and perpendicular respectively, to free-stream flow direction velocity components normal and tangential, respectively, to oblique shock wave speed of flow ‘maximum speed obtainable by expanding to zero absolute temperature external work performed per unit’ mass angle of attack yi 1) ratio of specific heats, © angle of flow deflection across an oblique shock shock-wave angle measured from upstream flow direction ‘molecular vibrational-enorgy constant Mach angle, sin! absolute viscosity PrandtI-Meyer angle (angle through which a supersoni¢ stream is turned to expand from M=1 to M>1) Atlee Sih ssa dene se pn Sane a a peal MOO!

Hence alll the above relations are valid across a moving normal shock wave if instantaneous velocities are measured relative to the shock. OBLIQUE SHOCK WAVES In general, a three-dimensional shock wave will be curved, and will separate two regions of nonuniform flow. How- ever, the shock transition at each point takes place instan- taneously, so that it is sufficient to consider an arbitrarily small neighborhood of the point. In such a neighborhood Shoek wave, x z 7 . Streomine Provre 2.—Notation for oblique shock wave, the shock wa may be regarded as plane to any desired degree of accuracy, and the flows on either side as uniform and parallel. Moreover, with the proper orientation of axes the flow is locally two-dimensional, Hence itis sufficient to consider a straight oblique shock wave in a ‘uniform parallel two-dimensional stream, as shown in figure Basic EQUATIONS, For a steady oblique shock wave, jump conditions result from requiring conservation of mass: pxils= palin (11s) normal momentum: —pr+avta?=pe-+ os (116) tangential momentum: — pyiiP)= psitaés (7) vt 5 itt AD hi=h Gat 82) + he ladiad| energy: 5 (ii®+ B+ hn=5 (at-+ 4) + haladiab] (18a) fh eae te POETS 4B +657 s fo 2 bab (isp) together with the requirement that the entropy does not decrease anne 20 (aig) Again it follows from the energy relation (118) that total enthalpy, total temperature, and total speed of sound are constant across the shock and hence also the critieal speed of sound and limiting speed: (120) aap EQUATIONS, TABLES, AND CHARTS FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLOW 9 A. comparison of equation (115) with (117) shows that the tangential velocity is constant across the shock wave B= 6) [adiad] (122) so that the change in velocity is normal to the shock. Tt follows that so that the energy equation (118a) reduces to ths (ndiab] (123) Now equations (115), (116), and (123) involve only the component of velocity % normal to the shock, and are identical with equations ($4), (85), and (86) for normal shock waves. Hence an oblique shock wave acts as a normal shock to the component of flow perpendicular to while the tangential component is unchanged. This is also clear physically from the ck principle” that the oblique flow is reduced to the normal flow by a uniform translation of axes (Galilean transformation). Because the speed of sound depends on the tangential velocity, Prandtl’s relation differs from that for normal shock waves (see ref. 11, pp. 302-808): i yl where ay and % can be evaluated on either side of the shock. ‘The Rankine-Hugoniot relations are the same as for normal shock waves: Indinb, perf] (124) +1p—O— Vor B+ De= = Doe [ediab, perf] (125) s(t Det —Dps ai FDO Ns [adiab, perf] (126) PP, Bee.

SUPERSONIC FLOW PAST WEDGES AND CONES A shock wave forms ahead of any body in supersonic flight and remains fixed relative to the body if the flight is steady. It stands ahend of blunt shapes, but may be attached to pointed shapes Just at the tip of a pointed airfoil or body of revolution the flow is the same as for the initially tangent wedge or cone. ‘The bow wave is attached at sufficiently high Mach numbers for a wedge of semivertex angle 6 less than sin=!(1/y)=45.6° for 7=7/5, and for a circular cone of semivertex angle ¢ less than 57,5° for y=1405. Below these limits, the wave is attached above a minimum Mach number whose dependence ‘upon nose angle is shown for wedges and cones in figure 4 (These values can be applied to pointed airfoils and bodies of revolution which are not concave.) Also shown in figure 4 are the slightly higher Mach numbers above which the velocity behind the shock wave is supersonic, and for the cone the still higher Mach number above which the flow supersonic even at the surface, (For wedges these last two coincide.) For thin wedges, these Mach numbers fare given approximately by equations (169) and (170). FLOW PAST WEDGES If the bow shock wave is attached to a wedge, it is straight, and the flow bebind the shock consists of uniform streams parallel to either face of the wedge. ‘The flow pattern above the upper face (fig. 5) may be regarded as obtained from the straight oblique shock-wave pattern of figure 2 by replacing the streamline behind the shock wave with a solid wall. Flow quantities are determined by the oblique-shock-wave relations, equations (115) t (170). As noted previously, table TI ean also be applied if Mf, sin @is used in place of My in the first column. ‘Phe flows above and below the wedge are independent, s0 that inclined wedges can be treated if neither face exceeds the attachment angle shown in figure 4. However, if the angle of attack exceeds the semivertex angle, the flow over the upper (leeward) surface is given by a Prandtl-Meyer expansion (sce fig. 4) rather than by the shock relations. Tt is clear {rom the shock polar (fig. 8) that two different shock waves and flow patterns are theoretically possible for fa given wedge and Mach number. However, it is believed that only the weaker shock wave (larger 1 and sinaller 6) ‘ean occur attached to an isolated convex body Charts 2, 3, and 4 show the dependence of shock-wave angle, surface’ pressure coefficient, and downstream Mach number upon wedge angle for various free-stream Mach numbers. FLOW PAST CONES If the bow shock wave is attached to an uninelined circular cone, the shock wave too has the form of a cireular ¢one. Flow quantities are constant on all concentric conical su faces lying between the shock wave and the body, and so depend upon only one space variable. ‘The transition across the shock wave is governed by the oblique-shoek relations, EQUATIONS, 50 45 42 38] Upstream Mach number, Af; Shock attaches « @ ize 6 ees 20 eon JES, AND CHARTS FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLOW 25 13, 710 M210 ‘Shock attached 32 BE a a8 Semivertex angle, degrees Fiorne 4—Upstream Mach numbers for shock atéacl ant and for supersonie flow behind shock wave on wedges anil eones, and for sipersonie flow at surface of cones, Shock waves, | Steaming believed that only the weaker shock wave can occur on an Streaming 1uR 6.—Flow past a cou, surface Mach number on con free-stream Mach numbers, ‘The effects of slightly inclining a cone have been considered by Stone (ref, 13) and numerical results are tabulated in reference 14.
