Oblique Shock
Weak is the usual external-flow branch; strong produces a larger pressure rise.
Wedge and attached shock
The existing wedge view shows flow deflection, Mach angle, and the selected attached shock branch.
Attached shock geometry
Flow turns across the wedge and compresses behind the shock.
