Shock formation in overexpanded flow: a study using the hydraulic analogy

<p>Tests were performed to study the mechanism of shock formation in supersonic flow in long orifices to gain insight into the leakage flow of turbine tip gaps. The flow was modeled on a water table using a sharp-edged rectangular channel. The hydraulic analogy between free surface water flows...
