Extract

If a plane oblique shock wave, inclined to the free stream at the angle ε, is produced in two-dimensional supersonic flow of Mach number M by (for example) a wedge which deflects the flow through an angle δ, the equation connecting these quantities may be written

In this form, δ is given explicitly when M, ε are fixed. Similarly, we may obtain M explicitly when ε, δ are fixed; equation (1) may be written (see, for example, Liepmann and Puckett, Equation 4.27)
