Density Ratio
Density Ratio higher is also one of the definitions of hypersonic flow. Density ratio across normal shock would reach 6 for calorically perfect gas (air or diatomic gas) at very high Mach numbers.
Symbol: ρratio
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value should be greater than 0.
Specific Heat Ratio
The Specific heat ratio of a gas is the ratio of the specific heat of the gas at a constant pressure to its specific heat at a constant volume.
Symbol: Y
Measurement: NAUnit: Unitless
Note: Value can be positive or negative.
Mach Number
Mach number is a dimensionless quantity representing the ratio of flow velocity past a boundary to the local speed of sound.
Symbol: M

How to Evaluate Exact Density Ratio?

Exact Density Ratio evaluator uses Density Ratio = ((Specific Heat Ratio+1)*(Mach Number*(sin(Wave Angle)))^2)/((Specific Heat Ratio-1)*(Mach Number*(sin(Wave Angle)))^2+2) to evaluate the Density Ratio, Exact Density Ratio formula is defined as a measure of the compression of air across an oblique shockwave, which occurs when an object moves at supersonic speeds, and is used to determine the density of air behind the shockwave. Density Ratio is denoted by ρratio symbol.
