Oblique Shock Angle

Oblique shock angle is the angle between an oblique shock wave and the upstream flow direction in supersonic aerodynamics. It forms when a supersonic stream is turned toward itself by a wedge, compression corner, or similar geometry, producing abrupt increases in pressure, temperature, and density while reducing the Mach number. The angle depends on the upstream Mach number, flow deflection angle, and specific-heat ratio through the theta-beta-M relation, which distinguishes weak and strong shock solutions. Engineers use oblique shock analysis to design supersonic inlets, airfoils, nozzles, and compression systems, predicting flow conditions, performance, and aerodynamic losses.

We present a detailed method for fabricating ultra-thin color films with improved characteristics for optical coatings. The oblique angle deposition technique using an electron beam evaporator allows improved color tunability and purity. Fabricated films of Ge and Au on Si substrates were analyzed by reflectance measurements and color information conversion.
