The design was finished and secretly patented in the spring of 1936 and further modifications that made the rocket stable at supersonic velocities were finalized in the autumn.

If, however, a convergent-divergent de Laval nozzle is fitted, the divergent ( increasing flow area ) section allows the gases to reach supersonic velocity within the divergent section.

Runaway stars such as this with a stellar wind that is moving at supersonic velocity through the interstellar medium have their wind confined by a bow shock due to ram pressure.

In more detail ( in the ZND model ) in the frame of the leading shock of the detonation wave, gases enter at supersonic velocity and are compressed through the shock to a high-density, subsonic flow.

In analyzing fossils and developing computer models of sauropod tails, the two researchers said they had found evidence that dinosaurs like Apatosaurus ( also known as Brontosaurus ) and Diplodocus could indeed have flicked their tails to supersonic velocities.

The gas is accelerated to supersonic velocities within the tube using a De Laval nozzle and inlet guide vanes spin the gas around an inner-body which creates the " ballerina effect " and centrifugally separates the water and liquids in the tube.

In the first, hydraulic pressures were used to subject a scaled version of the modified tank, mounted in a test stand, to the forces it will experience as the shuttle's rockets ignites, accelerates to supersonic velocities in the atmosphere and separates from the orbiter.

Downstream ( i . e . external to the nozzle ) the flow is free to expand to supersonic velocities; however Mach 1 can be a very high speed for a hot gas because the speed of sound varies as the square root of absolute temperature.

The one-ton rocket, which sits outside the Glass Bowl aimed to hit the 50-yard line of arch-rival Bowling Green's Doyt Perry Stadium carries two sets of fins and a propellant booster capable of guiding the missile to supersonic velocity . ( source NCAA WIKI)

As the nozzle cross-sectional area increases, the gas begins to expand, and the gas flow increases to supersonic velocities, where a sound wave will not propagate backwards through the gas as viewed in the frame of reference of the nozzle ( Mach number > 1.0 ).
