Title: SOME PRACTICAL METHODS OF USING CHARACTERISTICS IN THE CALCULATION OF NON- STEADY COMPRESSIBLE FLOW
Abstract: into an infinite target of similar material is also exactly solved by considering a limiting case of this solution. This new compressible flow solution reduces to the classical result of incompressible flow theory when the sound speed of the fluid is allowed to approach infinity. Several illustrations of the differences between compressible and incompressible flows of the type considered are presented.
