Normal Shock Waves

Normal Shock Waves is a discontinuous pressure wave phenomenon in supersonic aerodynamics characterized by an abrupt, near-instantaneous change in fluid properties across a plane perpendicular to the flow direction, distinguishing it from oblique or expansion waves by its orthogonal alignment relative to the upstream velocity vector.
