A single Mach wave has a insignificant effect on the flow passing it but an expansion region constitutes an infinite number of Mach waves and the integrated effect is significant. The net turning of the flow by a single Mach wave is depicted schematically in Fig. \ref{fig:machwave}. It can be shown geometrically that
