Isothermal flow — is a model of a fluid flow, which remains in the same temperature. In this model the temperature is constant while the stagnation temperature is changing.The change in stagation temperature occur because the temperature is constant but the… … Wikipedia
E. R.G. Eckert — Eckert was born in 1904 in Prague, where he studied at the German Institute of Technology. He developed methods for jet engine turbine blade cooling at a research laboratory in Prague. He emigrated to the United States after the World War II.He… … Wikipedia
Compressible flow — is the area of fluid mechanics that deals with fluids in which the fluid density varies significantly in response to a change in pressure. Compressibility effects are typically considered significant if the Mach number (the ratio of the flow… … Wikipedia

Shock tube — A shock tube is a device used primarily to study gas phase combustion reactions. Shock tubes (and related shock tunnels) can also be used to study aerodynamic flow under a wide range of temperatures and pressures that are difficult to obtain in… … Wikipedia
Oblique shock — A small scale X 15 placed in a NASA supersonic wind tunnel produces an oblique shock wave at the nose of the model (along with other shocks). An oblique shock wave, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the incident upstream flow… … Wikipedia
Rayleigh flow — refers to diabatic flow through a constant area duct where the effect of heat addition or rejection is considered. Compressibility effects often come into consideration, although the Rayleigh flow model certainly also applies to incompressible… … Wikipedia
