Mach number behind the wave for an oblique shock Calculator

The Mach number behind an oblique shock wave, often denoted as , represents the ratio of the velocity of the flow behind the shock to the local speed of sound in that region. It’s a crucial parameter in the analysis of compressible fluid dynamics and shock waves, particularly in situations where the flow undergoes abrupt changes in its properties due to an oblique shock. 

  • Mach number behind the wave (M2) 
  • Specific heat ratio (γ) 
  • Mach number ahead of the shock wave (M1)
