Show affiliationsSome properties of strong normal shock waves in argon are discussed and the problem of the supersonic flow around a wedge is examined for two particular cases, firstly, when the gas temperature upstream of the wedge is 300 °K and secondly, when the gas upstream is at a much higher temperature, such as will occur in the equilibrium region behind a moving shock wave when ionization is present. Values of the oblique shock angle have been computed for various wedge angles and upstream flow conditions; these are compared with the corresponding perfect-gas theory.
