What happens to the flow which passes through a curved shock wave?(a) Creates vorticity downstream(b) Creates vorticity upstream(c) Flow passes by undisturbed(d) Flow moves parallel to the curves shock waveI have been asked this question in class test.The question is from Irrotational Flow in division Velocity Potential Equation of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Right option is (a) Creates vorticity downstream

Explanation: When the FLUID flows through a CURVED shock wave, it undergoes a strong entropy change due to the PRESENCE of shock wave. This CAUSES the flow to rotate leading to the FORMATION of vorticity in the downstream region of the shock wave.
