Density Ratio across Oblique Shock Formula

What is oblique shock?

A shock wave that makes an oblique angle with the upstream flow, is called oblique shock. A normal shock wave is a special case of a general family of oblique shock, where the wave angle is 90°.

What is Wave angle and Mach angle?

Wave angle is the angle that oblique shock makes with the upstream direction of flow. Mach angle is the angle formed between the Mach wave (an envelope of disturbance) and freestream direction of flow. Mach wave is the limiting case for the oblique shock (i.e., it is an infinitely weak oblique shock).
