How to Calculate Flow deflection angle?
Flow deflection angle calculator uses Flow Deflection angle=atan((2*cot(Oblique shock angle)*(((Mach Number ahead of shock*sin(Oblique shock angle))^2)-1))/(((Mach Number ahead of shock^2)*(Specific heat ratio+cos(2*Oblique shock angle)))+2)) to calculate the Flow Deflection angle, The Flow deflection angle is obtained using θ-β-M relation which is an interrelation between Flow deflection angle, Upstream Mach number, and Oblique Shock angle. Flow Deflection angle and is denoted by θ symbol.
How to calculate Flow deflection angle using this online calculator? To use this online calculator for Flow deflection angle, enter Oblique shock angle (β), Mach Number ahead of shock (M1) and Specific heat ratio (κ) and hit the calculate button. Here is how the Flow deflection angle calculation can be explained with given input values -> -0.617143 = atan((2*cot(60)*(((1.5*sin(60))^2)-1))/(((1.5^2)*(1.392758+cos(2*60)))+2)).
