Entropy and simple waves in multidimensional gas flow
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 24 October 2008
Abstract
It is shown that the n-dimensional simple wave flow of a perfect gas, that is, flow in which the velocity components, pressure and density depend on only one generating function, must be isentropic. This result is then employed to explain why two independent investigations of apparently different types of simple waves have led to the same results.
