Difference between Shock wave and Torpedo

Shock wave vs. Torpedo

In physics, a shock wave (also spelled shockwave), or shock, is a type of propagating disturbance. A modern torpedo is a self-propelled weapon with an explosive warhead, launched above or below the water surface, propelled underwater towards a target, and designed to detonate either on contact with its target or in proximity to it.

Similarities between Shock wave and Torpedo

Shock wave and Torpedo have 3 things in common (in Unionpedia): Detonation, Ramjet, Wake.

Detonation

Detonation is a type of combustion involving a supersonic exothermic front accelerating through a medium that eventually drives a shock front propagating directly in front of it.

Ramjet

A ramjet, sometimes referred to as a flying stovepipe or an athodyd (an abbreviation of aero thermodynamic duct), is a form of airbreathing jet engine that uses the engine's forward motion to compress incoming air without an axial compressor or a centrifugal compressor.
