Module 2

1. A supersonic flow with M1=2.2, P1=1atm and T1=303K is expanded around a sharp
corner through a deflection angle of 12o. Calculate the flow properties downstream of
shock and also the angle that the forward Mach line make with the upstream flow
direction.
2. Discuss in detail the conditions under which attached and detached shocks are created.
Discussion should be backed by θ-β-M plot.
3. Draw a neat diagram and discuss in details of wave reflection from a free boundary and
reflection from a solid wall.
4. Discuss in details about the reflection and intersection of shocks in opposite family with
equal and unequal strengths.
5. For the flow field shown in fig., determine βr, M2 and M3, if M1=2.0 and βi=40o.

6. An oblique shock wave occurs at the leading edge of a symmetrical wedge. Air has a
Mach number of 2.1 and deflection angle (δ) of 15o. Determine the following for strong
and weak waves. (i) wave angle (ii) pressure ratio (iii) temperature ratio (iv)
downstream Mach number.
7. Discuss in details about (i) Mach reflection with neat sketch (ii) Shock polar diagram
and Hodograph plane with proper explanations.
8. An oblique shock of strength 1, in air meets the free boundary as shown in figure. (a)
Describe the reflection of the shock from the boundary, the flow process across the
reflected wave and sketch the reflection (b) Find the Mach number and total pressure and
downstream of the reflection zone (c) Find the angle of the expansion.

9. Consider a supersonic flow with M=2, P = 1atm and T=288K. This flow is deflected at
a compression corner through 20o. Calculate M, P, T,P0 and T0 behind the resulting
oblique shock wave.
10. Explain in details about the supersonic flow over a wedge with neat sketches.
11. A gas at a pressure of 340mbar, temperature of 355K and entry Mach number of 1.4 is
expanded isentropically to 140mbar. Calculate the following: (a) deflection angle (b)
find Mach number (c) find temperature of the gas. Take γ=1.3.
12. An oblique shock wave at angle of 33o occurs at the leading edge of a symmetrical
wedge. Air has a Mach number of 2.1 upstream temperature of 300K and the upstream
pressure of 11bar. Determine the following. (a) Downstream pressure (b) downstream
temperature (c) wedge angle (d) downstream Mach number.
Module 3
1. What are the high lift devices? List them and explain their effects on aerodynamic
characteristics.
2. Draw a neat sketch about the swept wing for thinner airfoil with different thickness to
chord ratio.
3. Draw a neat diagram and explain in details of the different types of flaps and their
advantages. Draw a plot of effect of sweep on Clmax.
4. Consider the Lockheed F-104, with a full load of fuel, the airplane weighs 10258kgf,
its empty weight (no fuel) is 6071kgf. The wing area is 18.21m2. The wing of the F-
104 is very thin, with a thickness of 3.4% and has a razor-sharp leading edge, both
designed to minimize wave drag at supersonic speeds. The maximum lift coefficient at
airplane has standard sea level when the airplane has (i) a full fuel tank and (ii) an empty
fuel tank. Compare the results.
5. Explain in details of the following:
(i) Comparison of two wings with supersonic speeds on subsonic and supersonic leading
edges.
(ii) Draw a neat profiles of variations of minimum wing drag coefficient versus Mach
number with different wing thickness and wing sweepback angles.
