Chapter 7: Overview of Compressible Flow Physics
Reads very well after Chapter 2 (2.7: Energy Equation)

DYNAMIC PRESSURE FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLOWS
Dynamic pressure is defined as q = rV2
For high speed flows, where Mach number is used frequently, it is convenient to
express q in terms of pressure p and Mach number, M, rather than r and V
Derive an equation for q = q(p,M)

SUMMARY OF TOTAL CONDITIONS
If M > 0.3, flow is compressible (density changes are important)
Need to introduce energy equation and isentropic relations

SOME KEY POINTS
For any given upstream M1, there is a maximum deflection angle qmax
If q > qmax, then no solution exists for a straight oblique shock, and a curved
detached shock wave is formed ahead of the body
Value of qmax increases with increasing M1
At higher Mach numbers, the straight oblique shock solution can exist at
higher deflection angles (as M1 , qmax 45.5 for = 1.4)
For any given q less than qmax, there are two straight oblique shock solutions for a
given upstream M1
Smaller value of b is called the weak shock solution
For most cases downstream Mach number M2 > 1
Very near qmax, downstream Mach number M2 < 1
Larger value of b is called the strong shock solution
Downstream Mach number is always subsonic M2 < 1
In nature usually weak solution prevails and downstream Mach number > 1

If leading edge of swept wing is outside Mach cone, component of Mach number normal
to leading edge is supersonic Large Wave Drag
If leading edge of swept wing is inside Mach cone, component of Mach number normal
to leading edge is subsonic Reduced Wave Drag
For supersonic flight, swept wings reduce wave drag
