Normal Shock Relations Calculator implementation

Binding contract

This record describes what an executable surface must bind and validate. It does not claim that a public calculator, package, or production route is deployed.

Effect

Computation or source lookup only

Input and validation requirements

The calculator breaks or must reject several edge inputs: the exact M1=1 boundary violates the strict validity condition, gamma=1 and M1=0 causes a zero denominator and undefined results, and a subsonic input produces formal algebraic values despite being outside the normal-shock branch. Signed Mach-number handling is also convention-dependent.
