Theoretical solution of the boundary problem of subsonic aerodynamics

A general theoretical solution of the boundary problem of aerodynamics of high subsonic velocities is presented. The solution of the partial differential equation for the velocity potential is carried out in the physical plane in streamline co-ordinates. The principle of the solution is the representation flow of a compressible fluid around a given profile to a hypothetical flow of an incompressible fluid around a different associated profile. In other words, the problem of compressible flow is transformed to the problem of incompressible flow, which can easily be solved. The results of this solution show very good agreement with solutions of other authors and with experiments.
