Question

a) Develop a relation between local static pressure P and freestream static pressure P.. Assume the stagnation pressure remains unchanged (i.e.,isentropic flow). b) Write the local pressure coefficient C, in

terms of free stream Mach number M, and the ratio P/P . c) Combining your results from a) and b), write an expression for the local pressure coefficient C, in terms of local and free stream Mach numbers. d) If the peak C, in incompressible flow is -0.43, estimate the critical Mach number. Hint: place all terms on one side of the equation and use a trial and error approach.
