Problem 1. – Uniform airflow (γ = 1.4, R = 287 J/kg·K) at Mach 3 passes into a concave
corner of angle 15°, as shown in Figure P6.1. The pressure and temperature in the
supersonic flow are, respectively, 72 kPa and 290 K. Determine the tangential and normal
components of velocity and Mach number upstream and downstream of the wave for the
weak shock solution. Also find the static and stagnation pressure ratios across the wave.
How great would the corner angle have to be before the shock would detach from the
corner?

From Table 6.4 for γ = 1.4 and M1 = 3.0, δmax is found to be 34.07°.
Problem 2. – In a helium (γ = 5/3) wind tunnel, flow at Mach 4.0 passes over a wedge of
unknown half-angle aligned symmetrically with the flow. An oblique shock is observed
attached to the wedge, making an angle of 30° with the flow direction. Determine the
half-angle of the wedge and the ratios of stagnation pressure and stagnation temperature
across the wave.
Method 1: Use of normal shock tables.
Using this value we can enter the normal shock table at a γ = 5/3 to find

Problem 3. – A wedge is to be used as an instrument to determine the Mach number of a
supersonic airstream (γ = 1.4); that is, with the wedge axis aligned to the flow, the wave
angle of the attached oblique shock is measured; this permits a determination of the
incident Mach number. If the total included angle of such a wedge is 45°, give the Mach
number range over which such an instrument would be effective.
Refer to Example 6.3. That example concerned the prediction of the minimum upstream
Mach number to produce an attached oblique shock. This is a similar problem; only here,
the half angle = 45/2 = 22.5°. So for a deflection angle δ of 22.5° and γ = 1.4,
computations following Example 6.3 are as follows:

attack of 3°. Assume the wing is traveling at Mach 2.5.
