Making Quieter Shock Waves
NASA’s X-59 aircraft is intended to demonstrate supersonic flight without the boom. Although it’s broken into supersonic speeds, we haven’t yet heard its “sonic thump” because, so far, it’s been accompanied by conventional supersonic aircraft, which are louder.
The idea behind the long, skinny X-59 is to create weaker, widely-spaced shocks along the aircraft body. Weaker shocks are easier for atmospheric effects to damp out before they reach the ground, and spacing them out makes it harder for them to “pile up” at the nose and tail to create the strong double shocks that merge into a sonic boom.
Schlieren image of a model X-59 tested at supersonic conditions in a wind tunnel. The model is mounted upside-down. The three dark diagonal lines are shock waves originating from the wind tunnel and can be ignored. The fainter lines coming off parts of the aircraft model are the plane’s shock waves.NASA is preparing to test the X-59’s in-flight shocks soon, including with in-air schlieren photography like they’ve done in the past for other aircraft. But we’ve already have a glimpse of what to expect, thanks to wind tunnel testing, shown above. Ignore the three dark diagonal lines in the middle of the image (those are from the wind tunnel, not the model aircraft), and focus instead on the thin bright lines coming off the plane. Those are some impressively subtle shock waves!

Seeking Quieter Supersonic Flight
Supersonic flight over the U.S. has been banned by all non-military aircraft for more than fifty years. The ban gained momentum in the 1960s after test programs over St. Louis and Oklahoma provoked public outcry. But NASA’s X-59 aircraft is working to lift the ban by softening the sonic booms that encouraged the ban in the first place. Although it hasn’t been tested at supersonic speeds yet, pilots are putting the sharp and skinny X-59 through its paces, slowly widening the flight envelope.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gR4Xuslczoo
In the video above, NASA shares footage of some of the recent test flights, including various maneuvers like phugoids, banking rolls, flutter, and landing gear tests. Pay close attention to the pilot’s view and the radio chatter, and you’ll hear that they’re hovering around Mach 0.98 in some cases–just underneath the point of generating a shock wave around the aircraft. It will be neat to see what happens when they finally do go supersonic. Will it be as quiet as promised? (Video credit: NASA; image credit: NASA/L. Losey; see also NASA; via Gizmodo)

Richtmyer-Meshkov Instability
If you send a shock wave through a magnetized plasma–something that happens in both supernova explosions and inertial confinement fusion–it can trigger an instability known as the Richtmyer-Meshkov instability. The image above shows a form of this, taken from a simulation. Rather than treating the plasma as a single idealized fluid, the researchers represented it as two fluids: an ion fluid and an electron fluid. This allowed them to better capture what happens when certain components of the plasma react to changes faster than others do.
The image itself shows the electron number density across the fluid, where darker colors represent higher electron number density. The interface between high and low-densities shows a roll-up instability that resembles the Kelvin-Helmholtz instability, but there are also regions of mushroom-like plumes that more closely resemble Rayleigh-Taylor instabilities.
The authors note that these structures don’t appear in simulations that represent a plasma as a single fluid; you need the two-fluid representation to see them. (Image and research credit: O. Thompson et al.)
