What happens to the velocity downstream of the shock as the deflection angle increases?(a) Remains same(b) Increases(c) Decreases(d) Tends to infinityI got this question by my college professor while I was bunking the class.This interesting question is from Physical Aspects of Conical Flow in section Linearized and Conical Flows of Aerodynamics

Answer»

Correct option is (c) Decreases

Easy explanation: USING the shock polar, we notice that as the deflection ANGLE is INCREASED from θA to θB, the downstream velocity magnitude decreases due to the formations of STRONGER shock WAVE.
