TRANSONIC FLOWS IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD OF A POINT WHERE A SHOCK WAVE MEETS THE SONIC LINE.

Abstract

The general outlines of the theory of homogeneous transonic flows are reviewed. Then it is shown how this theory may be applied to study of the singular behavior of a transonic flow close to a place where a shock meets a sonic line. Some examples are worked out in detail in order to show what kinds of singularities may arise in the midst of such flows. (Author)
