Abstract
Each small stage of the expansion starts with a uniform supersonic stream and finishes with a similar stream accelerated, expanded and turned through a small angle. We are therefore justified in applying to each stage the linear (Ackeret) approximation for small departures from uniform flow, according to which where U = air velocity M = Mach number α = inclination of flow.
期刊介绍:
The Aeronautical Journal contains original papers on all aspects of research, design and development, construction and operation of aircraft and space vehicles. Papers are therefore solicited on all aspects of research, design and development, construction and operation of aircraft and space vehicles. Papers are also welcomed which review, comprehensively, the results of recent research developments in any of the above topics.
