Rayleigh flow

Rayleigh flow, also known as Rayleigh flow over a wedge, refers to the flow of an ideal gas that expands adiabatically and undergoes a specific type of flow characterized by the presence of a wedge-shaped obstacle. This phenomenon is typically analyzed in the context of compressible fluid dynamics, particularly for situations concerning supersonic and subsonic flows around a wedge or in the presence of a sharp corner.
