condensation shock wave [‚kän·dən′sā·shən ′shäk ‚wāv]

(fluid mechanics)

A sheet of discontinuity associated with a sudden condensation and fog formation in a field of flow; it occurs, for example, on a wing where a rapid drop in pressure causes the temperature to drop considerably below the dew point.
