Simplified Analysis Of Shock WavesSemiempirical expressions and conventional analyses agree within about 3 percent. Set of semiempirical formulas enables direct calculation of supersonic and hypersonic shock-wave parameters without use of iterative procedures. Formulas provided for calculating shock deflection angle and downstream static pressure and enthalpy over mach number range of 2 to 25. Relationship describing thermodynamic behavior of partially dissociated air also developed.
