The mathematics of hypersonic flight primarily involves fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and gas dynamics, particularly ...
American company Boom Supersonic just broke the sound barrier with a civilian plane. What exactly is supersonic travel, and ...
The Mach number is defined as a plane’s speed divided by the speed that sound waves move through the air. To “break the sound barrier” means to fly faster than the speed of sound ...
The study of low Mach number limits in fluid dynamics, particularly in the context of the Navier-Stokes equations and magnetohydrodynamics (MHD), is crucial for understanding the behavior of ...
An aircraft flies transonic when it reaches the range of speeds just below supersonic, which is Mach 1. Flight 11’s primary ...
Even at Mach 8 a Reynolds number based on momentum thickness of about 15,000 seems possible, with natural transition and a highly cooled wall. The key part of the installation is a storage heater ...
