1. This region of supersonic acceleration is terminated by a normal shock wave. 2. "Normal shocks " are a fundamental type of shock wave. 3. Oblique shock waves are used predominantly in engineering applications when compared with normal shock waves. 4. Normal shocks only happen when the flow is supersonic.5. This thin film of molecules act as normal shocks . 6. Downstream of this normal shock the air is subsonic. 7. The ratio of stagnation temperatures remains constant across a normal shock since the process is adiabatic. 8. Interestingly, the intersection points occur at the given initial Mach number and its post-normal shock value. 9. NASCAR's answer to the problem was to dictate that normal shocks would be run on each wheel. 10. Normal shock waves can occur in two reference frames : the standing normal shock and the moving shock.
