Oblique Shock Prandtl Meyer: OBLIQUE SHOCK M6.0
5 to 40
Oblique shock wave angles and Prandtl-Meyer expansion function for supersonic and hypersonic flow. Covers two record types: (1) PRANDTL_MEYER — nu(M) expansion angle and Mach angle mu(M) for Mach 1.0–10.0; (2) OBLIQUE_SHOCK — weak and strong shock angles, downstream Mach number, and pressure ratio for each (M1, deflection angle) combination, Mach 1.0–10.0, deflection angles 5–40 degrees. gamma=1.4 throughout.
