Transonic Degeneracy in Systems of Conservation Laws

  • Conference paper
Symposium Transsonicum III

Summary

We examine the way in which the system of two equations for two unknown functions of two variables which occurs in transonic aerodynamics may be derived asymptotically for systems of conservation laws. Some already known applications are resumed in a unified way.
