What is a shock wave?
A shock wave is a strong pressure wave in any elastic medium such as air, water, or a solid substance, produced by supersonic aircraft, explosions, lightning, or other phenomena that create violent changes in pressure.
How to Calculate Radius of Curvature for Sphere Cone Body Shape?
Radius of Curvature for Sphere Cone Body Shape calculator uses Radius of Curvature = Radius*1.143*exp(0.54/(Mach Number-1)^1.2) to calculate the Radius of Curvature, The Radius of curvature for sphere cone body shape formula is defined as the product of the radius of the nose of the body to the 1.143 times exponent of the product of 0.54 and inverse of freestream Mach number minus 1 raised to 1.2. Radius of Curvature is denoted by Rcurvature symbol.
