Synopsis

When a Mach number dependent parameter σ ≠ 0 is accounted forin an expansive free interaction analogous to that of Stewartson [7], the solution terminates in a singularity with a finite pressure, but with a pressure gradient varying as the inverse three-fifths power of the distance from the singularity, apart from a subtle logarithmic modification.
