Pre-Analysis & Start-Up

Pre-Analysis

In the hand calculations we will applying the conservation of energy, mass and momentum equations for a 1D inviscid compressible flow. This differs from the way that FLUENT solves the problem as FLUENT instead uses the 2D inviscid compressible flow equations.

Hand Calculations

Flow with M = 3 comes straight on in the x-direction towards the wedge. We know the wedge angle theta from our geometry of the wedge as 15 degrees.
