    Interaction Shock
AI Thread Summary
Shock interaction regimes refer to the classification of shock waves based on their strength and interaction characteristics, particularly in hypersonic flow conditions. The discussion highlights the need to assess the nature of oblique shock and bow shock interactions, which can vary significantly depending on the angle of the impinging shock and the specific flow conditions. While determining whether a shock is strong or weak is a common inquiry, the focus in hypersonic scenarios often shifts to more complex interactions. The original poster seeks clarification on the term "shock regime" and invites further insights or rewording to enhance understanding. Understanding shock regimes is crucial for analyzing flow dynamics in advanced aerospace applications.

I have been asked to determine the "shock regime" of a oblique shock / bow shock interaction based on the angle of the impinging shock and flow conditions. What does this mean?

My initial thoughts were that I was being asked to determine whether the shock was strong or weak, but since the conditions are hypersonic that's not really a very interesting question.

What is a "shock regime"?

Thanks for the post! Sorry you aren't generating responses at the moment. Do you have any further information, come to any new conclusions or is it possible to reword the post?

Thread 'Cantilever help'

I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly

Thread 'What's the most likely cause for this carbon seal crack?'

We have a molded carbon graphite seal that is used in an inline axial piston, variable displacement hydraulic pump. One of our customers reported that, when using the “A” parts in the past, they only needed to replace them due to normal wear. However, after switching to our parts, the replacement cycle seems to be much shorter due to “broken” or “cracked” failures. This issue was identified after hydraulic fluid leakage was observed. According to their records, the same problem has occurred...
