What Exactly is a Shock Wave? - Physics Stack Exchange The Wikipedia defintion of a shock wave pretty much sums up all I've found online about what a shock wave is: A shock wave is a type of propagating disturbance Like an ordinary wave, it carries
How do you explain the formation of shockwave on the wing surface . . . Explanations of shockwave for the common folks (youtube videos, googling) all tend to focus on successive sound waves generated by the air craft traveling outward in circles (sphere) That to me, only explains why the boundary of a sockwave is a straight line (cone)
Is a bombs shockwave strong enough to kill? [closed] Water propagates the shockwave better than air and you can be killed by a bomb more easily and at a much bigger range inside water than outside of it (while in a lot of movies they show the opposite ) $\endgroup$ –
fluid dynamics - Why does entropy jump across a shockwave? - Physics . . . However, in his derivation of the Rankine-Hugonoit relations, the author used Euler's equations from the very beginning, which do not include viscous and conductive terms (in contrast to the more complete Navier-Stokes), and should therefore exclude all viscous and thermal conduction effects from the physics
Calculation of force when shock wave passes According to the Rankine–Hugoniot equation, the pressure P2 after the shock wave passes is $$\\frac{P_{2}}{P_{1}}=\\frac{2 \\gamma M_{1}^{2}}{\\gamma+1}-\\frac
Would a high-explosive in a vacuum be less harmful? Putting aside shrapnel effects, I believe that high-explosives cause damage by producing a shockwave How do shockwaves work in space? I've managed to convince myself that a high-explosive shockwave would work "about the same" by producing a shell of high-speed gas that would arrive at the surface with pretty much the same amount of energy that
Mossberg Shockwave Legality - Oklahoma Shooters The Shockwave has to be over 26 inches in overall length If the overall length of a gun is below 26 inches, it legally becomes an Any Other Weapon (AOW) Any Other Weapons are also Title II firearms The Shockwave reaches its overall length via the somewhat long Raptor pistol grip and the combination of a 14-inch barrel
The relation between shockwave thickness and shockwave strength What is the relation between shockwave thickness and shockwave strength? I mean with increasing altitude and increase shockwave thickness, shock become stronger or weaker? Defining strength of a shock wave: Strength of a shock wave is defined as the ratio of increase in static pressure across the shock to the inlet static pressure
How is a shock wave a wave? - Physics Stack Exchange $\begingroup$ Yeah that video is fun but doesn't really answer my question, and that other question is interesting but asks more for a definition and I am more interested in where the crests of this shockwave are, or whether it's one giant crest or anything visual that connects to the picture in my OP $\endgroup$ –
