Plane detonation waves are analysed, on the assumption that the ratio of specific heats and the molecular weight are constants. Heat release is quoted in terms of a dimensionless parameter F, such that, for Chapman-Jouguet ...
This paper is primarily concerned with the design principles of three-dimensional surfaces which can produce two-dimensional, centred compression waves and are derived from the Nonweiler wing. A study is made of the ...
For free-stream Mach numbers between 10 and 4, a study is made of the profiles assumed and isentropic waves produced in non-viscous flows by two-dimensional sails, under pure tension and of finite weight. At the higher ...
