Module "aerodynamics/betaFromTheta"

betaFromTheta

• betaFromTheta(mach: number, theta: number, n?: WeakOrStrongShock, y?: number): number

• Calculate the oblique shock wave angle (β) for a given deflectoin angle (θ) and Mach number. The source for this analytic solution can be found here.

  Parameters

  • mach: number

    Mach number for which you want to obtain the value of beta

  • theta: number

    Deflection angle

  • Default value n: WeakOrStrongShock = 0

    Return weak (0) or strong (1) shock data

  • Default value y: number = 1.4

    Ratio of specific heats of the gas used

  Returns number
