Some aspects of the physical nature of transonic flows past aerofoils and wings

  • Conference paper
Symposium Transsonicum

Abstract

Attention is confined to those transonic flows in which a local supersonic region is embedded within a subsonic flow and is terminated by shock wave impinging on the surface of the aerofoil or wing.

A fuller version of this paper with diagrams and other illustrations is being prepared by the present author and Mr. J. Osborne for issue as an N. P. L. Aero Report.
