Analytical study of supersonic isentropic flow in a channel of constant cross section and an adjacent laval nozzle. Comparison with numerical and experimental results

An analytic study of plane supersonic flow based on the use of Prandtl-Meyer invariants is presented. Flow in both a channel of constant cross section and an adjacent Laval nozzle with a corner point is considered. The analytical results are compared with numerical and experimental data. Moscow.
