4.1 NORMAL SHOCK WAVES
441.1 Introduction
When there is a relative motion between a body and fluid, the
disturbance is created. Ifthe disturbance is of an infinitely small amplitude,
that disturbance is transmitted through the fluid with the speed of sound. If
the disturbance is finite amplitude shock waves are created,
‘Wave phenomenon is classified as follows

Mach Waves
‘A mach waves are weak waves, Mach wave has been described in
the previous Chapter (Chapter 1)
Expansion Wave
‘A.wave which is at a lower pressure than the fluid in to which its,
moving is called an expansion wave (or) rarefaction wave.
Compression Wave
‘A wave whieh is at a higher pressure than the fluid in to whi
moving is called compression wave.

‘Shock Wave
‘A shock wave is nothing but steep finite pressure wave. The shock
wave may be deseribed as compression wave front in a supersonic flow
field across which there is abrupt change in flow properties, The flow process
through the shock wave is highly ieversible and cannot be approximated
as being isentropic,

4.2 OBLIQUE SHOCK WAVES
4.2.1 Introduction
When the shock wave is inclined at an angle to flow, it is called
‘oblique shock. It is also referred to as a two dimensional plane shock wave.
4.2.2 FlowThrough Oblique Shock Waves
Consider a stationary wedge in a flow system as shown in fig.4.7.
“The gas undergoes a change of direction due to this concave corner. A
shock will appear atthe wedge as shown and this will make an angle o with
the original flow direction. This angle is called the wave angle (@) andi will
be greater than the deflection angle (6).
{A stronger oblique shock wave is nearer to a normal shock wave
nd has a larger wave angle (i.e,, nearer to 90°).
‘A.weak oblique shock wave has smaller wave angle and closer to the
Mach waves.
Oblique shocks usually occur when a supersonic flow is turned in to
itself. The apposite ofthis, ie., when a supersonic flow is turned away from
itself, expansion fan is formed.
Narmat Shock Waves 4.125
The following assumptions are used for oblique shock flow
1, Flow is steady, adiabatic and frictionless.
2. The gas is perfect with constant specific heats.
3. Absence of work transfer across the boundaries.
4, Absence of body forees.

9. Shock waves cannot develop in subsonic flow? Why?
{MS Univ Nov'95}
In subsonic flow, the velocity of fluid is less than the velocity of sound.
Due to this reason, déeeleration is fot possible in subsonic flow. So
shockwaves cannot develop in subsonic flow.

‘A shock wave which is at a higher pressure than the fluid in to which it
is moving Is called compression shock wave.
‘A shock wave which is ata lower pressure than the fuid into which it

It is not possible.
12, State the necessary conditions for a normal shock to occur in
