In this post I go over the theory of oblique shocks by building on our understand of normal shockwaves! I will give a short overview of the theory and strategy for analysis. Here is a summary of the contents of this post: Introduction to oblique shocks Analysis of the oblique shock Working relations for an oblique … Continue reading Oblique Shockwaves

Pressure Driven Nozzle Flow with Shock – rhoCentralFoam
In this post I will go over the set up and solution of a pressure driven nozzle flow with a shock located in the diverging section. This refers to the type of flow problem described by region b in my page covering stationary normal shock-waves. Here is a summary of the contents of this post: Nozzle Design … Continue reading Pressure Driven Nozzle Flow with Shock – rhoCentralFoam
Stationary Normal Shock Waves
Shock-waves are a common topic covered in undergraduate thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and gas dynamics courses. Because shock-waves are awesome, I figured I would do one of my first posts on their basic theory. I'm going to try to cover the topic by first providing some context and a clear picture of what a shock wave … Continue reading Stationary Normal Shock Waves
