| 11. | Theodore von K�rm�n, a student of Prandtl, continued to improve the understanding of supersonic flow.
|
| 12. | KIVA s functionality extends from low speeds to supersonic flows for both agglomeration, and aerodynamic breakups.
|
| 13. | For subsonic flow, the flaps are completely closed and for supersonic flow, the flaps are open.
|
| 14. | However, full supersonic flow over the vehicle will not develop until well past Mach 1.0.
|
| 15. | In subsonic and early supersonic flows, the dominant two-dimensional instabilities are T-S waves.
|
| 16. | Upon achieving supersonic flow, the particle is moving so fast that it continuously leaves its sound waves behind.
|
| 17. | All modern civil airliners use forms of supercritical aerofoil and have substantial supersonic flow over the wing upper surface.
|
| 18. | However, as its name implies, a scramjet combustor must address these challenges in a supersonic flow environment.
|
| 19. | The shock wave is one of several different ways in which a gas in a supersonic flow can be compressed.
|
| 20. | Another problem with a separate horizontal stabiliser is that it can itself achieve local supersonic flow with its own shock wave.
