Abstract

A solution to the hypersonic small disturbance equations is obtained for a class of two-dimensional bodies supporting logarithmic shock waves by reducing the partial differential equation to an ordinary differential equation. The body shape is calculated and shown not to be logarithmic if γ ≠ 1, where γ is the ratio of the specific heats of the gas.
