Abstract

The general solution of Chaplygin's equation for the motion of an inviscid compressible fluid is obtained for ‘simple wedge flows’. Some particular examples are given and a discrepancy in earlier Russian papers explained. After a discussion of the properties of the velocity potential and the expression for the physical coordinates in terms of the hodograph variables, a general theorem on sonic jets is proved, namely, that the physical changes due to the presence of solid boundaries in the flow are completed within a finite distance in those directions in which the flow becomes finally a sonic jet.
