Governing eqations
The rise in pressure, density, and temperature after an oblique
shock can be calculated as follows:
M2 is solved for as
follows:
detached,
as

in
When <max, there are two possible solutions, for each value of
and M, having two different wave angles. The large value of is
called the strong shock solution and the small value of is
referred to as the weak shock solution. For strong shock solution
the flow behind the shock becomes subsonic. For weak shock
solution the flow remains supersonic, except for a small range of
values slightly smaller than max
