The temperature behind a shock, which is not the jump condition's
The static temperature along the flow behind a Mach 6 normal shock, with the frozen value the jump conditions give and the equilibrium value they give a long way behind. The gas arrives at 2382 K and settles at 2059, over about four tenths of a millimetre.
6 essays call
what-a-gas-carries-forward. 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 what-a-gas-carries-forward 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.
Where it is called
What each of these essays asks for instead of the defaults is on the regime index, which reads the parameters back out of the finished figures rather than out of the placements.
- A gas that has not finished being shocked Compressible flow
- A surface that remembers the diaphragm Compressible flow
- The sound now is the source then Compressible flow
- A duct that cannot be run backwards Compressible flow
- A gas that has not decided to react yet Compressible flow
- Two totals, one of which a shock cannot touch Compressible flow
