Subsonic Compressible Flows by a Method of Correspondence. 1 - Methods for Obtaining Subsonic Circulatory Compressible Flows about Two- Dimensional Bodies

摘要

By means of general solutions of the hodograph equations for compressible fluids, certain solutions corresponding to solutions of the hodograph equations of an incompressible fluid are used to find flow patterns of compressible fluids. When the adiabatic equation of state is used, only a general method is outlined. The method appears to lead to the solution of the problem of subsonic flows with circulation around arbitrary bodies as the method of Theodorsen does for incompressible fluids.
