Definition

EN

quotient of the speed of flow and the speed of sound, expressed by

M a = v / c ; where

v :: is speed (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) of the body, and

c :: is speed of sound (ISO 80000-8: Acoustics) in the fluid

FR

quotient de la vitesse d'écoulement par la vitesse du son, exprimé par:

M a = v / c ; où

v :: est la vitesse (ISO 80000-3: Space and time) du corps; et

c :: est la vitesse du son (ISO 80000-8: Acoustics) dans le fluide

Notes

EN

The Mach number represents the relationship of inertial forces compared to compression forces.

For an ideal gas

c = γ p ρ = γ R T M = γ k T m ; where γ is ratio of the specific heat capacity (ISO 80000-5: Thermodynamics).

FR

Le nombre de Mach représente la relation entre les forces d'inertie et les forces de compression.

Pour un gaz parfait:

c = γ p ρ = γ R T M = γ k T m ; où γ est le rapport des capacités thermiques massiques (ISO 80000-5: Thermodynamics).
