Constant along a given right-running Mach wave for the internal grid point five refers to a specific parameter or property that remains unchanged as a right-running Mach wave propagates through the flow field and interacts with the conditions at the internal grid point labeled as five.  Constant along a given right running Mach wave for […]

Constant along a given right-running Mach wave for the internal grid point four refers to a specific parameter or property that remains unchanged as a right-running Mach wave propagates through the flow field and interacts with the conditions at the internal grid point labeled as four.  NOTE: Along the C− characteristic, K− is constant. Hence,

The Prandtl-Meyer function (ν) for internal grid point three represents a mathematical function that relates the Mach number (M) of the flow at that specific grid point to the associated turning angle (ν) in radians. The Prandtl-Meyer function ν is important in the analysis of compressible flow, particularly in supersonic and hypersonic flows. It helps

The Prandtl-Meyer flow angle (θ) at internal grid point three represents the angle at which the flow direction deviates from the local direction of the streamlines at that specific point within a computational grid. This flow angle is measured in radians. The Prandtl-Meyer flow angle is a critical parameter in the analysis of compressible flows,

Constant along a given left-running Mach wave for the internal grid point three” refers to a specific property or parameter that remains constant as a left-running Mach wave propagates through the flow field and interacts with the conditions at the internal grid point labeled as three.  Constant along a given left running Mach wave for

Constant along a given right-running Mach wave for the internal grid point three refers to a specific property or parameter that remains unchanged as a right-running Mach wave propagates through the flow field and interacts with the conditions at the internal grid point labeled as three.  Constant along a given right running Mach wave for

Constant along a given left-running Mach wave for the internal grid point two” refers to a specific property or parameter that remains constant as a left-running Mach wave propagates through the flow field and interacts with the conditions at the internal grid point labeled as “two.  NOTE: (K+)2 = (K+)3 because K+ is constant along

Constant along a given right-running Mach wave refers to a property or parameter that remains the same as the wave propagates through the flow. In other words, it’s a quantity that doesn’t change as the Mach wave moves through the fluid. A “right-running Mach wave” is a specific type of wave associated with changes in

Constant along a given left-running Mach wave refers to a property or parameter that remains the same as the wave propagates through the flow. A “left-running Mach wave” is a specific type of wave associated with changes in the Mach number of the flow. Unlike right-running Mach waves, left-running Mach waves move in the opposite
