The speed of sound in a conical flow, often denoted as “a,” refers to the velocity at which pressure disturbances (sound waves) propagate through a fluid flow that exhibits conical geometry. In such flows, the speed of sound characterizes the rate at which changes in pressure, density, and other fluid properties propagate through the medium.
- Speed of sound (a) in m/s
- Specific heat ratio (𝛾)
- Maximum velocity (Vmax) in m/s
- Radial velocity (Vr) in m/s
- Tangential velocity (V𝜃) in m/s
