VECTOR POLAR METHOD FOR THE ANALYSIS OF WAVE INTERSECTIONS.

Abstract

Vector polar method is a graphical technique for the solution of wave interaction problems that are concerned with overall results, rather than with the progress of the process. The paper describes the application of this method to wave intersections, that is interactions in steady flow. The fundamental concepts for the method are developed from basic principles, and its use is illustrated by a number of multi-wave intersection processes, including triple front intersections and their reflections.
