Sentence examples for shock standoff from inspiring English sources

In B the shock standoff distance 'a' is determined by the radius of curvature of the magnetic bottle, the shock Mach number, and the adiabatic index.

The resulting impact on macroscopic features of the flow are for example a reduction of the wall heat flux (both convective and radiative) or of the shock standoff distance.

These side impacts are identified with experimental measurements on the shock standoff distance in an expansion tube with CO2 N2 mixture flows representative of the venusian atmosphere over cylinders.

The standoff distance of the shock structure is unusually large, which is the sign of a weak shock.

The second term on the right-hand side, 1.33 X MP, represents an approximation of the subsolar standoff distance of the bow shock (Fairfield 1971).

Whereas several features of the plasma environment were well modeled, such as, the standoff distance of the bow shock and the ion velocity profile; the abundances of water-group ions around closest approach are not easily understood in terms of the coma chemistry model.

The play keeps delivering small shocks and aches that end in a standoff, or maybe in that pause between despair, resignation and a twinge of hope.

When the nozzle standoff distance is small, a bow shock is formed at the impingement zone between the supersonic jet and the substrate.

Gopalswamy and Yashiro (2011) estimated the coronal magnetic field within the SOHO coronagraphic field of view (6 to 23 Rs) using the fact that the standoff distance of the white-light shock with respect to the radius of curvature of the driving flux rope is related to the shock Mach number and the adiabatic index (Russell and Mulligan 2002; Savani et al. 2012).

At standoff distances less than 60 mm, the bow shock reduced deposition efficiencies by as much as 40%.

What's most interesting about this standoff is the fact that neither side has brought out the shock troops.
