Extract

In many design procedures for calculating supersonic isentropic flow the problem arises of calculating the change in Mach number which will occur due to a specified change in flow direction, e.g. considering simple Prandtl-Meyer corner flow, it is required to calculate the final Mach number M to which the initial sonic stream will be accelerated by turning through a specified angle v.
