The "Limiting Line" in Mixed Subsonic and Supersonic Flow of Compressible Fluids
Abstract
Criterion for the breakdown of isentropic irrotational flow is discussed along with axially symmetric flow, limiting line, limiting hodograph and streamlines, envelope of characteristics in hodograph plane and lines of constant velocity in physical place, continuation of solution beyond limiting line, and general three-dimensional flow. Computational formulas are developed. Graphs indicate limiting line as the envelope of Mach waves, and streamline and velocity components in an axially symmetric flow.
