General Theory of Conical Flows and Its Application to Supersonic Aerodynamics

General Theory of Conical Flows and Its Application to Supersonic Aerodynamics

Paul Germain1955
The report deals with a method of studying the equation of cylindrical waves particularly indicated for the solution of certain aerodynamic problems. The method reduces problems of a hyperbolic equation to problems of harmonic functions. The study has been applied toward setting up the fundamental principles, to developing their investigation up to calculation of the pressures on the visualized obstacles, and to showing how the initial field of "conical flows" was considerably enlarged by a procedure of integral superposition.
