Oblique shocks
From geometry:
u1n = u1 sin β
= u1t tan β
(203)
u2n = u2 sin (β − θ)
= u2t tan (β − θ)
Oblique shocks
ρ1 u1n = ρ2 u2n
ρ1 u12n + P1 = ρ2 u22n + P2
(205)
u1t = u2t

2 u1n + γ−1 (P1 /ρ1 ) = 12 u22n + γ−1 (P2 /ρ2 )
Oblique shocks
Thus, one has the following relationships for the oblique shocks:

Expanding:
The following is the chart showing the relationship. Note that there
are a maximum wedge angle θmax allowed for attached oblique
shock. A greater value would result in detached shock. This
maximum wedge angle divides the solution for β into two branches.
