From theCambridge English Corpus
The present monograph is mainly concerned withsupersonicflowand only draws attention to corresponding subsonic solutions where comparison is of value in giving further information on the problem.
From theCambridge English Corpus
Explicit solutions for the variation of pressure, density, atom concentration and temperature on the wall behind a sharp corner insupersonicfloware found as an example.
From theCambridge English Corpus

Also, it depends on the unsteadiness of thesupersonicflowabove the sonic layer which the compression waves radiating from the sonic layer have to pass.
From theCambridge English Corpus

From theCambridge English Corpus
Insupersonicflowregimes, wave drag is commonly separated into two components, supersonic lift-dependent wave drag and supersonic volume-dependent wave drag.
