Machines | Understanding Shock Waves in Aerospace Applications

David Sherwood Created 5/3/15 This educational video is a student production of MIT's Experimental Study Group with assistance from the Department of Aeronautics and Astronautics. The purpose is to provide an exciting and interesting introduction to shock waves and their applications in supersonic flight for individuals at the undergraduate level. With assistance from Professor David Darmofal, I introduce the concepts behind shock wave formation and delve into the difference between the three main types of shocks. Placing this analysis in the context of aircraft design helps students draw conclusions and hopefully sparks their interest about this crucial topic.

still using sound barrier? are we in the 1800 or 2016

Omg you are so mistaken, oblique shock always decelerate the fluid, you are misinforming people
-
Thank-you, concise and interesting.
-
@6:34 Shouldn't it be M>1 not M>0 for supersonic and vice versa for subsonic?
-
This is a very simple but amazing way to demonstrate this phenomenon

I learned more in this 8 minute than in the 4 lectures with prof
