Abstract: It turns out that the problem of plane steady potential flow of a gas becomes linear when the velocity components are used as independent variables (the hodograph transformation ). However, the advantages of linearity are somewhat offset by the following, A lack of global invertibility of the hodograph transformation. The practical difficulty in satisfying the boundary conditions prescribed in the physical plane. Indeed, the shape of the body cannot be prescribed in advance, unless the body has a simple representation in the hodograph, like a wedge. The fact that the shape of the body changes if either the free stream Mach number or the thickness ratio is altered.
