Target entity: Prandtl–Meyer expansion
Context triple: [Ludwig Prandtl, notableFor, Prandtl–Meyer expansion]
  • A. Mach cone
    A Mach cone is the conical shock wave pattern produced by an object traveling through a medium at a speed faster than the speed of sound.
  • B. Callahan flow
    Callahan flow is a notable basaltic lava flow associated with Medicine Lake Volcano in northern California, formed during one of its relatively recent volcanic eruptions.
  • C. Joukowski airfoil
    The Joukowski airfoil is a mathematically defined airfoil shape derived using conformal mapping, foundational in early aerodynamic theory and airfoil design.
  • D. Kármán vortex street
    Kármán vortex street is a repeating pattern of swirling vortices formed when a fluid flows past a bluff body, fundamental in fluid dynamics and aerodynamics.
  • E. Venturi effect
    The Venturi effect is a fluid dynamics phenomenon in which a fluid's pressure decreases and its velocity increases as it flows through a constricted section of pipe or channel.
  • F. None of above. chosen
  • G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
