- Bow shock (aerodynamics)
other Bow shock Expert subject engineering date November 2008 Image Bowshockexample.jpg thumb 200px A blunt body fired from a gun against a supersonic flow in a wind tunnel , producing a bow shock. A bow shock , also called a detached shock , is a curved, stationary shock wave that is found in supersonic flow past a finite body. Unlike an oblique shock , the bow shock is not necessarily attached to the tip of the body. Oblique shock angles are limited in formation and are based on the flow deflection angle, upstream Mach number . When these limitations are exceeded greater deflection angle or lower Mach number , a detached bow shock forms instead of an oblique shock. As bow shocks form for high flow deflection angles, they are often seen forming around blunt objects. In other words, when the needed rotation of the fluid exceeds the maximum achievable rotation angle for an oblique attached shock, the shock detaches from the body. Downstream of the shock, the flow field is Speed of sound subsonic , and the boundary condition can be respected at the stagnation point . The bow shock significantly increases the drag physics drag in a vehicle traveling at a supersonic speed. This property was utilized in the design of the return capsules during space missions such as the Apollo program , which need a high amount of drag in order to slow down during atmospheric reentry .

- Aeromechanics
Aeromechanics is the science about mechanics that deals the motion of air and other gases, involving aerodynamics , thermophysics and aerostatics . The branch of mechanics that deals with the motion of gases especially air and their effects on bodies in the flow. The fluid flow and structure are interactive systems and their interaction is dynamic. The fluid force causes the structure to deform which changes its orientation to the flow and hence the resulting fluid force. Areas that comprise this is within technology of aircraft and helicopter s since these use Propeller aircraft propellers and Helicopter rotor rotors .
