清华大学工程力学系 IX. COMPRESSIBLE FLOW 符 松 清华大学 航天航空学院 COMPRESSIBLE FLOW Compressible flow is the study of fluids flowing at speeds comparable to the local speed of sound. This occurs when fluid speeds are about 30% or more of the local acoustic velocity. Then, the fluid density no longer remains constant throughout the flow field. This typically does not occur with fluids but can easily occur in flowing gases. Two important and distinctive effects that occur in compressible flows are choking where the flow is limited by the sonic condition that occurs when the flow velocity becomes equal to the
