A Weakly Supersonic Flow Around Thin Bodies,
Abstract
A two-dimensional steady gas flow past a thin symmetrical body is studied under the assumption that the mach number at infinity is close to unity. The continuous nature of shock-wave formation during transition from sonic to supersonic flow is established mathematically. This solution also explains the 'bursts' in the values of the current function calculated by Vincenti and Wagoner. As a result of the numerical calculations, the first 20 coefficients are found and the transition to plane (x,y) is made.
