For this web page, your screen should be at least 1220 pixels wide.

This page offers tables of isentropic flow functions and normal shock functions. You can adjust the heat capacity ratio and the range of Mach numbers tabulated. Detailed notes are available here .

Table 1 Tables and calculator for isentropic flow: ratios of static temperature, static pressure and area versus Mach number.

Heat capacity ratio:   Gamma = Mach number of interest   M =

Start Mach Number:   Ms = End Mach Number:   Me = Increment in Mach Number:   dM =

To adjust the tables, enter new heat capacity ratios, Mach number range and interval into the textboxes below and press recalculate. Bug fix: very long tables might not show completely. If this happens, toggle the above button entitled "Table of isentropic flow functions" button.

Table 2 Tables and calculator for normal shock: downstream Mach number, ratios of static temperature, static pressure, density, and stagnation pressure versus upstream Mach number.

Heat capacity ratio:   Gamma = Mach number of interest   M =

Start Mach Number:   Ms = End Mach Number:   Me = Increment in Mach Number:   dM =

To adjust the tables, enter new heat capacity ratios, Mach number range and interval into the textboxes below and press recalculate. Bug fix: very long tables might not show completely. If this happens, toggle the above button entitled "Table of isentropic flow functions" button.
