How is the shock layer in case of hypersonic flow?(a) Thin(b) Thick(c) Non existent(d) Increases with increasing Mach numberThe question was posed to me in examination.This interesting question is from Hypersonic Flow in division Transonic and Hypersonic Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct ANSWER is (a) Thin

Best explanation: Shock layer is defined as the distance between the surface body and the shock wave. For hypersonic flow, this distance is very LESS THUS making the shock layer thin. The shock waves usually lies very CLOSE to the surface.
