Tutorial - 1: Hypersonic Shock Relation

This document contains 5 problems related to hypersonic shock relations: 1. Calculate the pressure and temperature downstream of a normal shock in a duct where the upstream Mach number is 8. Also find the pressure and temperature in a reservoir where the flow is brought to rest. 2. Find the pressure on the front of a blunt body with a freestream Mach number of 9 using exact and hypersonic normal shock relations and sketch the flow pattern. 3. Calculate the percentage difference in pressure, density, and temperature behind an oblique shock at Mach 8 and 12 using exact and hypersonic relations with an upstream flow turning 300. 4. Calculate the pressure P2b given the density

TUTORIAL – 1
Hypersonic Shock Relation

1. Air is expanded from a large reservoir in which the pressure and temperature are 1 MPa and 350
C through the variable area duct. A normal shock occurs at a point in the duct where the Mach
number is 8. Find the pressure and temperature in the flow just downstream of the shock wave.
Downstream of the shock wave, the flow is brought to rest in another large reservoir. Find the
pressure and temperature in the reservoir. Assume that the flow is one-dimensional and
isentropic everywhere except through the shock wave.

2. Air flows over a blunt nosed body. The air flow in the freestream, ahead of the body has a Mach
number of 9 and static pressure of 100 Pa. Find the pressure acting on the front of the body
using hypersonic relation and compare it with the solution from exact normal shock relation.
Sketch the flow pattern near the nose.

3. Air is flowing over a flat wall. The pressure and temperature in the air-stream are 200 Pa, and
-500 C respectively. If the wall turns through an angle of 300 leading to the formation of an
oblique shock wave, find the percentage difference in calculating the pressure, density and
temperature in the flow behind the shock wave using both exact supersonic relations and
hypersonic relations(M tends to infinity) for Mach (i)8 (ii)12.

4. Calculate P2b, if ρ∞b = ρ∞a/2 and T∞a=T∞b.

5. Air flowing with a Mach number of 7 with a pressure of 120 Pa and a temperature of -600 C
passes over a wedge which turns the flow through an angle of 40 leading to the generation of an
oblique shock wave. This oblique shock wave impinges on a flat wall, which is parallel to the
flow upstream of the wedge and is reflected from it. Find the pressure, Mach and velocity
behind the reflected shock wave.
