High-speed flow of a gas past an approximately elliptic cylinder
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
In this paper, a family of exact solutions of the problem of two-dimensional flow of a compressible perfect fluid about a cylinder is found, the solutions being generalized from those for the flow of an incompressible fluid about an elliptic cylinder of arbitrary eccentricity and angle of attack. The circulation is taken to be zero and the speed of the fluid at infinity subsonic. This analysis is an application of the general theory given by T. M. Cherry (1, 2); it was done to exhibit the details of the analysis for a flow other than that corresponding to the low-speed flow past a circular cylinder.
