Abstract: | The interaction between mixed sub-and supersonic flow near a convex breakpoint of a profile with a rectilinear wall downstream of this breakpoint is investigated. If we start from the fact that the initial flow has the character of a singularity in the domain ahead of the last characteristic of the rarefaction node [1], then the solution in the interaction domain, obtained in the hodograph plane under the assumption of its continuity in the physical plane, is not realizable because of the presence of limit lines. This governs the hypotheses of the formation of the compression shock emerging from the corner point and having zero intensity there. |
