Application of Transonic Similarity

Abstract

From a review of the different similarity approaches to compressible potential flow, the meaning and limitations of transonic similarity are traced back to their origin. Although the main text deals with the quasi two-dimensional flow, special suggestions for the case of axisymmetrical bodies are added in an appendix.
