Mach wave

(重定向自Mach angle)
Schlieren photograph of an attached shock on a sharp-nosed supersonic body. The Mach angle is acute, showing that the body exceeds Mach 1. The angle of the Mach wave indicates a velocity of about Mach 1.3.

In fluid dynamics, a Mach wave is a pressure wave traveling with the speed of sound caused by a slight change of pressure added to a compressible flow. These weak waves can combine in supersonic flow to become a shock wave if sufficient Mach waves are present at any location. Such a shock wave is called a Mach stem or Mach front. Thus it is possible to have shockless compression or expansion in a supersonic flow by having the production of Mach waves sufficiently spaced (cf. isentropic compression in supersonic flows). A Mach wave is the weak limit of an oblique shock wave (a normal shock is the other limit).
