This document outlines 8 homework problems for a supersonic flows class. The problems involve analyzing flow properties like pressure, temperature, and Mach number upstream and downstream of oblique shock waves, expansion fans, and compression corners using given conditions and geometric configurations. The student is asked to determine quantities like shock angles, deflection angles, and flow properties on either side of waves and corners.

1. Uniform airflow at Mach 3 passes into a concave corner of angle 15, as shown in the figure below. The pressure and temperature in the supersonic flow are, respectively, 72kPa and 290K. 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?

2. Upstream of an oblique shock wave, , , and . The shock wave angle is . Find the deflection angle , and flow properties downstream the shock: , , and . 3. A supersonic air flow leaves a symmetric two-dimensional nozzle in parallel, horizontal flow (region 1) with a Mach number of 2.6 and static pressure (in region 1) of 50 kPa. The nozzle discharges to back pressure of 101 kPa (region 2). Find the pressures and Mach number in region 3 of the figure. 2 1 3

4. Flow properties across an oblique shock wave can be determined using the normal shock wave table provided the normal Mach numbers ( ) were used. Why the column of is not applicable for oblique shock waves? On the other hand, the column of an oblique shock wave, prove this. 5. Consider a half-angle wedge placed in a supersonic flow of Mach 3 at standard conditions ( (abs), ) at an angle of attack of 5 . Determine the angles of the shock waves and the surface pressure, temperature, total pressure and Mach numbers on both the upper and lower surfaces. 6. An oblique shock generated at a compression corner with a deflection angle . A straight horizontal wall is present above the corner, parallel to the free stream (see the figure in example can be used for
