Summary

The significance of joining flow regions with moving waves is discussed and a generalised treatment of simple, one dimensional, moving shock waves is presented analytically and in chart form. The problem is next considered with the shock wave replaced by different types of non-steep waves and their corresponding charts given.

Possible and impossible flow configurations are examined and the results presented in the form of a diagrammatic table. An alternative shock wave chart is described in an appendix and worked examples, showing the use of the charts, are presented.
