2. Tabulate the five basic differences between Oblique Shock wave and Normal Shock wave.
4
Sketch a case of regular reflection with supersonic downstream flow depicting the position of
incident and reflected shocks. Give their comparative data and show them in pressure turning
angle column graph.

3. Write formula for coefficient of pressure as per Ackerets rule and give the convention for turning
angle.
4
Take a simple case of double diamond airfoil in supersonic flow with zero degree angle of attack.
Sketch the case showing position of shocks and expansion fans and derive the formula for
coefficient of lift and coefficient of drag.

4. Define stream function and give their mathematical definition.
4
Write potential flow equation for a compressible flow in subsonic region. Compare it with the
incompressible flow region potential flow. Take up a case of lambda () is equal to beta () and
explain the transformation result.

5. Why it is preferred to have many weak oblique shocks rather than having one normal shock to
compress the air for the same compression ratio? Explain in details in your own language.
4
In the figure given below there are two cases to get the similar compression ratio between free
stream and final stream. Find the total pressure loss in both the cases and compare the results
while it is given that = . , = = .
