Contains a number of functions for flow characterization including the following:

insentropic_flow - Relations for isentropic flow
normal_shock - Relations across a normal shock (with considerations for oblique shock)
oblique_angle_calc - Given two parameters this function calculates the third of the theta-beta-mach relationship for oblique angles
plotShock - Visualizes the shock wave

A script is also included to facilitate the execution of these functions. The script contains a section to change the inputs.

A matlab GUI/app will be coming soon and I will continue to update and add on to these functions (such as expansions waves).
