Abstract:The similarity solutions of the equations of transonic gasdynamics make it possible to construct the flow in the vicinity of the point of the sonic contact discontinuity, at which the compression shock arises. The results of [1][2][3] show that if the sonic line is not a contact discontinuity, then the compression shock can arise on it only with reflection of a sufficiently strong singularity in the derivatives of the velocity vector. Such a flow may be realized only for bodies of a special form. In the case s… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
