A normal shock at Mach 2.00, and what crosses it unchanged

The state in front of the shock and the state behind it. Every ratio was computed from the standard jump relations and then substituted back into mass, momentum and energy, which is an independent route — a mistyped exponent in the total-pressure expression cannot survive a momentum balance it never appeared in. The residuals are printed below because a check nobody can see is a check nobody can audit.

14 essays call normal-shock. The drawing above is what it returns with no arguments at all; every call below passes it something, because a placement that passes nothing draws whichever member of the family the generator happens to default to rather than the one its essay argues about.

It is also the blast radius. Changing normal-shock changes every figure listed here at once, and on this site it may change what they assert as well as what they show — which is what has to be rebuilt and looked at before the change is believed.
