Notes

  1. 1.

    Printed in bold \(\varvec{\chi }= (\chi _1,\chi _2,...,\chi _d)\) is a ray velocity and not an angle.

  2. 2.

    This continuous flow has a sonic line starting from a point \(P_G\) on the aerofoil, see Fig. 9.8-2.

  3. 3.

    For the scalar conservation law \(u_t +(\frac{1}{2}u^2)_x=0\), we first note the transport equation \(\frac{du}{dt} \equiv (\frac{\partial }{\partial t} + u \frac{\partial }{\partial x})u = 0\) of a nonlinear wavefront (see Sect. 3.5). According to this the amplitude \(m=u\) remains constant \(=m_0\). Then, we refer to the transport equation (5.24) for a shock with \(u_r=\) constant, \(M-1=\frac{u_0-u_r}{u_r}\equiv \frac{u_\ell -u_r}{u_r}\) and \(v_1=\mathcal {V}\). This gives \(\frac{d(M-1)}{dt} = \{\frac{\partial }{\partial t} + \frac{1}{2}(M+1)\frac{\partial }{\partial x}\}(M-1) =-\frac{1}{2}(M-1) \mathcal {V}\). When \(\mathcal {V}>0, M-1\rightarrow 0+ ~as~ t\rightarrow \infty \).

  4. 4.

    M increases on some parts of \(\Omega _t\) due to convergence of rays. As soon as the kink lines are formed, the rays tend to diverge as seen in Figs. 9.2B and 9.4, then M starts decreasing.
