1. Sketch the shock wave patterns and streamlines for the following bodies following in

supersonic flows: (a)a point source, (b)a concave corner, (c) a convex corner, (d)a sphere, (e)a flat plate at small angle of incidence. (f) a diamond wing at zero incidence. 2.The upstream flow properties in front of a normal shock wave are 700m/s, T1 = 216K and P1 = 0.2205 atmospheres. Calculate the Mach number, velocity, temperature, and pressure downstream of the normal shock (R = 287J/(kg)(K) ). 3.Consider the supersonic flow over a blunt body (a rectangle) as shown below. Sketch the shock wave pattern. Given the free stream conditions are M1 = 1.5, P1 = 22700 N.m-2, and T1 = 216.8 K), find the Mach number, pressure and temperature behind the shock wave.

The apex angle BAC at the leading edge is 8 degrees, while the apex angle ABC at the trailing edge being 10 degrees. The free stream conditions are T1 = 216K and P1=2.26x104 N.m-2.

6 degrees . The free stream conditions are M1 = 2.0, P1 = 0.227 atmospheres, and T1 = 216.8K. An oblique shock wave is formed at the leading edge of the ramp, followed by

the formation of a normal shock wave at the bottom lip of the inlet. Find the Mach number, pressure and temperature behind the normal shock.
