% Computes isentropic expansion.
Type IsentropicExpansion for a demo.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Form:
[pR, rhoR, tR] = IsentropicExpansion( M, gamma )
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
------
Inputs
------
M (1,:) Mach number
gamma (1,1) Ratio of specific heats
-------
Outputs
-------
pR (1,1) p0/p
rhoR (1,1) rho0/rho
tR (1,1) t0/t
