The “reflected shock to the upper wall angle,” often denoted as , refers to the angle formed between a reflected shock wave and the upper wall of a duct or channel in fluid flow. This concept is commonly encountered in the study of compressible fluid dynamics, particularly in scenarios where shock waves interact with boundaries.
- Angle between the reflected shock and the direction of the flow in region 2 (𝛽2) in rad
- Deflection angle (θ) in rad
- Shock angle relative to the wall (Φ) in rad
