Abstract

The general solution of the Chaplygin equation for ‘simple wedge flows’ is used for the particular case of Réthy flows. The drag coefficient is evaluated and comparisons made with the results obtained from the approximate hodograph equations of Tricomi and of Tomotika and Tamada. A distinction is made between subsonic and transonic régimes and the limitations on the lengths and pressure differences permissible in the various ranges are discussed.
