Symmetrical Flow past a Double Wedge at High Subsonic Mach Number,

Abstract

The symmetrical flow past a double wedge is studied for a high subsonic Mach number. The main features of the flow field are discussed in the physical and the hodograph plane. It is shown how a regular solution to the hodograph equation exhibits limit lines in the physical plane, which are eliminated through a 'cut' corresponding to the shock wave. The boundary value problem is solved in the hodograph plane using Telenin's method which has proven to be successful when dealing with equations of mixed type. Of particular interest is the point where the sonic line meets the shock.
