Oblique shock angle with the value of specific heat ratio Calculator

An oblique shock angle is the angle between the direction of the supersonic flow and the shock wave that forms when the flow encounters a corner or a wedge that deflects the flow. The oblique shock angle depends on the upstream Mach number, the specific heat ratio of the fluid, and the deflection angle of the corner or the wedge.
