• supersonic inlet — An air inlet designed for supersonic flow both past it and through it at least for a part of the flight. Ideally, it has a center body or side wedge, which creates oblique shock waves …   Aviation dictionary

• Supersonic — For other uses see Supersonic .The term supersonic is used to define a speed that is over the speed of sound (Mach 1). At a typical temperature like 21 °C (70 °F), the threshold value required for an object to be traveling at a supersonic speed… …   Wikipedia

• Supersonic wind tunnel — A supersonic wind tunnel is a wind tunnel that produces supersonic speeds (1.2 …   Wikipedia

• supersonic diffuser — A diffuser designed to reduce the velocity and increase the pressure of fluid moving at supersonic velocities. Air enters at a velocity greater than the speed of sound, is decelerated in a contracting section, and reaches sonic speed at the… …   Aviation dictionary

• Compressible flow — is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids in which the fluid density varies significantly in response to a change in pressure. Compressibility effects are typically considered significant if the Mach number (the ratio of the flow… …   Wikipedia

• Fanno flow — refers to adiabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of friction is considered. Compressibility effects often come into consideration, although the Fanno flow model certainly also applies to incompressible flow. For this model,… …   Wikipedia

• Potential flow — streamlines around a NACA 0012 airfoil at 11° angle of attack, with upper and lower streamtubes identified. In fluid dynamics, potential flow describes the velocity field as the gradient of a scalar function: the velocity potential. As a result,… …   Wikipedia

• Air flow bench — An air flow bench is a device used for testing the internal aerodynamic qualities of an engine component and is related to the more familiar wind tunnel. Used primarily for testing the intake and exhaust ports of cylinder heads of internal… …   Wikipedia

• Rayleigh flow — refers to diabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of heat addition or rejection is considered. Compressibility effects often come into consideration, although the Rayleigh flow model certainly also applies to incompressible… …   Wikipedia

• Supercritical flow — A supercritical flow is when the flow velocity is larger than the wave velocity. The analogous condition in gas dynamics is supersonic.Information travels at the wave velocity. This is the velocity at which waves travel outwards from a pebble… …   Wikipedia

• Diverterless supersonic inlet — Testing of the F 35 Diverterless Supersonic Inlet on an F 16 testbed. The original intake is shown in the top image. A diverterless supersonic inlet (DSI) is a type of jet engine air intake used by some modern combat aircraft to control air flow… …   Wikipedia
