Introduction

This chapter investigates two-dimensional, supersonic, compressible, inviscid flow. Flow is said to be two-dimensional when the fluid properties only depend on two Cartesian coordinates. More information on this subject can be found in Liepmann & Roshko 1957, Hughes & Brighton 1999, Emanuel 2000, and Anderson 2003.
