Angle of the rearward Mach line Calculator

The “angle of the rearward Mach line,” often denoted as , represents the angle formed between the Mach line (a type of shock wave) and the direction of the flow after it has been deflected by a certain angle . This concept is commonly encountered in the study of compressible fluid dynamics, especially when analyzing the behavior of flows around curved surfaces or obstacles. 

  • is the angle of the rearward Mach line.
  • is the angle of the forward Mach line before deflection.
  • is the deflection angle.
