Path: AC/Aero
% Computes impact to static pressure ratio from Mach number and gamma. For supersonic flow uses the Rayleigh pitot tube formula. -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Form: pR = PressureRatioFromMach( gamma, m ) -------------------------------------------------------------------------- ------ Inputs ------ gamma (1,:) Ratio of specific heats m (1,:) Mach number ------- Outputs ------- pR (1,:) Pressure ratio -------------------------------------------------------------------------- See also: RayleighPitotTube -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Reference: Anderson, John D.
