Abstract: | The incidence of a weak shock on a plate moving at supersonic speed is examined theoretically. The shock overtakes the plate. Cases with constant stream parameters behind the shock front and with a nonuniform stream are considered. Formulas are obtained for the time dependence of the plate lift.Moscow.
