Abstract
In this study, inviscid, confined supersonic and subsonic stream inter actions are studied using a hydraulic analog experiment. Specifically, the length of the first minimum location of the slipline is measured. Reasonable agreement is shown between a theoretical model and analog measurements. A method for extending the isentropic limited hydraulic analogy to model these inherently non-isentropic flows is also develop ed.
