APPLICATION SHOCK WAVES AROUND THE X-15
Classical shock wave pattern around a free-flight
model of the X-15 at M3.5. In the lower half
of the image, the convergence of the downstream
shocks with the main bow shock is clearly seen.

12Schlieren Method
APPLICATION PENETRATION OF ALUMINUM FOIL BY A
BULLET
Pattern of waves generated as a .222 caliber
bullet passes through a hanging sheet of aluminum
foil. The reflected shock is clearly seen at the
left of the foil. A second spherical shock
surface can be seen on the right side of the
foil. The small disturbances just behind the
shock are bits of the foil ejected at impact.

13Schlieren Method
APPLICATION REFRACTION OF SHOCK WAVES
The schlieren photo at the right reveals the
pattern of waves generated by a .222 caliber
bullet traveling at about Mach 3. The bullet has
just passed through the plume of a candle and the
different densities in the heated plume have
refracted the lower set of shock waves.
