Hi, I'm Kosack. I originally joined Wikipedia back in 2007 and my made my first edit in May of that year. After drifting away from the site for a few years in 2010, I rediscovered the place in 2016. My main area of editing is football with particular focus on Cardiff City and any of the club's players, managers and history. I also take an interest in most areas of Welsh football.

An oblique shock is a
shock wave that, unlike a normal shock, is inclined with respect to the direction of incoming air. It occurs when a supersonic flow encounters a corner that effectively turns the flow into itself and compresses. This photograph shows an oblique shock at the nose of a
Northrop T-38 Talon aircraft, made visible through
Schlieren photography.Photograph credit: NASA & US Air Force (J.T. Heineck, Ed Schairer, Maj. Jonathan Orso, Maj. Jeremy Vanderhal)
