shockhullámot
A shockhullámot, or shock wave, is a type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium. It is characterized by an abrupt and significant change in pressure, temperature, and density over a very thin region. Unlike regular waves, shock waves are non-linear phenomena, meaning their speed depends on the amplitude of the disturbance.
Shock waves are generated by events that rapidly compress a medium. Common examples include supersonic explosions,
The abrupt compression across a shock wave leads to a significant increase in entropy. This irreversibility
Understanding shock waves is important in various fields. In engineering, they are relevant to aerodynamics, the
