Investigation of effect of energy dissipation behind a detached shock wave on total head measurements
The flow field behind a detached shock wave, created by a blunt body in a supersonic air stream, is analyzed with respect to energy dissipation through the action of viscosity in the fluid stress field near the axis of symmetry. This energy dissipation is related to the rise in entropy, and conseque...
