Abstract:Fig. 1 Refraction of a Mach wave (compression wave) in a supersonic, isobaric flow exhibiting a certain Mach number profile.compression wave reaches the ground. This procedure requires the numerical evaluation of a series of n products.Instead of doing such numerical calculations, the problem can also be described by a simple, analytic equation that relates the intensity of the transmitted wave to the local Mach number M of the freest-ream (Fig. 1). If the intensity of the wave is expressed in terms of the def… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
