It must be noted that the calculations are for the perfect gas model. In some cases, this assumption might not be sufficient and different analysis is needed. Henderson and Menikoff suggested a procedure to calculate the maximum deflection angle for arbitrary equation of state. When the mathematical quantity \(D\) becomes positive, for large deflection angle, there isn't a physical solution to an oblique shock. Since the flow "sees'' the obstacle, the only possible reaction is by a normal shock which occurs at some distance from the body. This shock is referred to as the detach shock. The detached shock's distance from the body is a complex analysis and should be left to graduate class and researchers in this area.
