| 1. | Supersonic flow behaves very differently from subsonic flow.
|
| 2. | In a subsonic flow the gas is compressible, and sound will propagate through it.
|
| 3. | Unlike in subsonic flow, the supersonic flow accelerates as it moves away from the throat.
|
| 4. | Because of the subsonic flow, there is no bow shock off the trailing hemisphere of Ganymede.
|
| 5. | For subsonic flow, the flaps are completely closed and for supersonic flow, the flaps are open.
|
| 6. | This subsonic flow then decelerates through the remainder of the diverging section and exhausts as a subsonic jet.
|
| 7. | Subsonic flows are often assumed to be incompressible, i . e . the density is assumed to be constant.
|
| 8. | In subsonic flow, steeply swept and narrow wings are inefficient compared to a high-aspect-ratio wing.
|
| 9. | For high subsonic flows, the Critical Mach number ( M 1cr ) is a characteristic value of considerable importance.
|
| 10. | Supersonic flow jumps over it by means of ramps, while subsonic flow is able to turn and exit through the gap.
