is a shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air. It occurs when asupersonicflow encounters a corner...
Asupersonic wind tunnel is a wind tunnel that produces supersonic speeds (1.2<M<5) The Mach number and flow are determined by the nozzle geometry. The...

{\displaystyle c_{\mathrm {d} }} of a real square flatplate perpendicular to the flow is often given as 1.17.[citation needed] Flow patterns and therefore c d...
to have a lot of length to slowly shock the supersonicflow back to subsonic speeds. Generally such transonic airfoils and also the supersonic airfoils...
flow in the upper halfplane. With this interpretation, the flow is that of a vertically directed jet impinging on a horizontal flatplate. The flow may...
cones (sometimes called shock cones or inlet centerbodies) are a component of some supersonic aircraft and missiles. They are primarily used on ramjets, such...
produce thrust. Subsonic ramjets accelerate exhaust flow with a nozzle. Supersonic flight typically requires a convergent–divergent nozzle. Although ramjets...
the flat sides parallel to the fluid flow. The spacing between the plates is sufficiently large that the flow does not choke and supersonicflow is maintained...
On a swept wing, air tends to flow sideways as well as backwards and reducing this can improve the efficiency of the wing: Wing fence: aflatplate extending...
Newton's flatplate drag law yields reasonable drag predictions for supersonicflows or very slender plates at large inclination angles which lead to flow separation...
A waverider is a hypersonic aircraft design that improves its supersonic lift-to-drag ratio by using the shock waves being generated by its own flight...
tectonic plates ride on top of the asthenosphere, the solid but less-viscous part of the upper mantle that can flow and move along with the plates. As the...
