Abstract

A solution is given for the sound waves generated when an infinite wedge passes at supersonic velocity through the plane interface between different media. The results are then applied to the particular case when the two media consist of the same perfect gas at different temperatures. It is observed that the flow can be deduced for any symmetrical aerofoil of infinite span by superposition, and the case of a double wedge is considered in detail.
