3.14.1 Introduction

This class computes the thermodynamic properties of compressible gas flow over a wedge for a calorically perfect gas, as described by [naca1135]. It computes the following properties given the specific heat ratio $γ$ and any of the up- or downstream mach number plus any of the other properties. After calling any of the evaluation functions the following properties will be available, where the subscript $1,2$ refers to upstream and downstream, respectively;

The following properties are computed:

I	Property	Description

1	$M1$	Upstream mach number.
2	$M2$	Downstream mach number.
3	$p2/p1$	Pressure ratio.
4	$ρ /ρ 2 1$	Density ratio.
5	$T2/T1$	Temperature ratio.
