Abstract

A set of two-dimensional subsonic flows past certain cylinders is obtained using hodograph methods, in which the true pressure-volume relationship is replaced by various straight-line approximations. It is found that the approximation obtained by a least-squares method possibly gives best results. Comparison is made with values obtained by using the von Kármán-Tsien approximation and also with results obtained by the variational approach of Lush & Cherry (1956).
