DescriptionStreamline Patterns for Flow Regimes.png
English: The diagram displays streamlines for three airflow regimes via black lines around a nondescript blunt body (blue). It demonstrates that objects in subsonic and supersonic flow can be approximated as creating minimal disturbances, while objects in transonic flow cannot. The dotted line in the supersonic flow is a shock. Based on a diagram from "Fluid Dynamics for the Study of Transonic Flow" (Heinrich J. Ramm, 1990)
