What happens when the cross – flow velocity becomes supersonic? Correct Answer Embedded shock waves on the leeward side
When the cross – flow velocity (Vθ, Vϕ) increases and Vθ2 + Vϕ2 becomes greater than the square of free – stream velocity i.e. the cross – flow velocity becomes supersonic, then there is formation of embedded shock waves on the leeward portion of the cone.
