Supersonic flow onto a solid wedge
Volker Elling, Tai-Ping Liu
We consider the problem of 2D supersonic flow onto a solid wedge, or equivalently in a concave corner formed by two solid walls. For mild corners, there are two possible steady sta…

The ellipticity principle for selfsimilar polytropic potential flow
Volker Elling, Tai-Ping Liu
We consider self-similar potential flow for compressible gas with polytropic pressure law. Self-similar solutions arise as large-time asymptotes of general solutions, and as exact…

Shock waves
Tai-Ping Liu
Shock wave theory was first studied for gas dynamics, for which shocks appear as compression waves. A shock wave is characterized as a sharp transition, even discontinuity in the f…
