Expansion Fans

Expansion Fans is a compressible flow phenomenon in which a centered, continuous region of isentropic expansion waves forms across a sharp convex corner in supersonic flow, thereby distinguishing it from discontinuous shock waves by enabling smooth and irreversible acceleration of the flow.
