Abstract

To calculate the flow field set up by a slender body flying at sonic speed is a classical problem — a problem which, over the years, has been tried many times without receiving a definite solution. The dominating feature of the problem is of course its inherently nonhnear character: the linear acoustic approximation is unable to account for the sound-wave interaction which keeps finite the wave travelling with the body.
