The slope of a right-running Mach wave characteristic between points one and three refers to the rate at which the Mach number (M) changes as one moves along a characteristic associated with a right-running Mach wave from point one to point three within a flow field.
- The slope of right running Mach wave characteristic between points one and three
- Angle between velocity to the below velocity at point one (𝜃1) in rad
- Angle between velocity to the below velocity at point three (𝜃3) in rad
- Angle between above streamline to the velocity at point one (𝜇1) in rad
- Angle between velocity to the below horizontal at point three (𝜇3) in rad
