Supersonic wing-body interference

Extract
We consider here the supersonic inviscid flow past a wing-body combination consisting of a semi-infinite plane wing symmetrically placed about an infinite convex cylinder. When the cylinder is circular in cross-section a formal solution for the Laplace transform of the velocity potential exists (Neilson(l), and Stewartson, 1951, unpublished). This solution is given in the form of a series which is only slowly convergent near the boundary surface separating the disturbed and the undisturbed regions. However, this slow convergence has been overcome by Waechter(4) using the Poisson Summation formula on the series solution. This enables the solution to be expressed in terms of integrals which can be evaluated as a convergent residue series, taking on different forms in the different regions of the interaction.
