Summary
The solution to compressible flow problems under fully assigned boundary conditions is discussed. It is shown that Schwarz's results on minimal surfaces can be immediately applied for two-dimensional flow, and several special cases and examples are given. Extensions of these results provide certain particular types of three-dimensional flow.
