💥 Oblique Shock at a Compression Corner: Theta-Beta-Mach and Pressure Recovery (2D)
Supersonic flow turned by a corner makes an oblique shock. Set Mach number, corner angle, gas properties and the weak or strong shock family and read the shock angle, the Mach number, pressure, temperature and density behind it, the largest attached turning angle and the total-pressure loss. A detached bow shock appears when the corner is too steep. Four numerical checks run in the page.
