Abstract

The flow pattern past a thin wedge-like profile set at a small angle of attack in a gas flowing with high subsonic or sonic velocity is discussed within the order of the transonic approximation. In the model considered the flow has a stagnation point at the nose of the wedge and breaks away, with velocity equal to that of sound, from the shoulders. The velocity is subsonic throughout the whole field of flow. The solution of the boundary-value problem for the wedge in a channel is formulated as a pair of dual integral equations. The complete solution is given for the wedge in a free stream and the dimensions of the profile, together with the lift coefficient, are computed as functions of the transonic similarity parameter.
