... a shock wave is classified into two categories namely as oblique shock wave and normal shock wave. An experimental study of an oscillating normal shock wave subject to unsteady periodic forcing in a parallel-walled duct has been conducted. Across the normal shock wave the Mach number decreases to a value specified as M1: Measurements of the pressure rise across the shock have been taken and the dynamics of unsteady shock motion have been analysed from high-speed schlieren video (available with the online version of the paper).

Normal shocks also are generated in shock tubes. Fluid. mechanics is the branch of applied mechanics in which the behaviour of fluid is studied under the action of forces. 2.26 is a 6-unit Honors-level subject serving as the Mechanical Engineering department's sole course in compressible fluid dynamics.

A shock tube is a high velocity wind tunnelin which the temperature jump across the normal shock is used to simulate the high heating environment of spacecraft re-entry.
