blast wave
impact wave
  • ülehelikiirusega liikuva voo ebaühtlus, millega kaasneb järsk rõhu ja temperatuuri tõus
  • type of propagating: when a wave mores faster than the local speed of sound in a fluid
  • type of propagating disturbance that moves faster than the local speed of sound in the medium
lööklaine preferred
Usage examples
  • Nagu tavaline laine, kannab lööklaine energiat ja võib levida läbi leviala, kuid seda iseloomustab järsk, peaaegu katkendlik rõhu, temperatuuri ja keskkonna tiheduse muutus.
plahvatuslaine
shock wave preferred
Usage examples
  • Like an ordinary wave, a shock wave carries energy and can propagate through a medium but is characterized by an abrupt, nearly discontinuous, change in pressure, temperature, and density of the medium.
