Abstract

A new form is given for the general solution to the thin-shock-layer equations for the flow over a nearly plane delta wing. Using this, the solution described conjecturally by Hayes & Probstein for symmetrical flow with attached shock waves over a plane delta wing is realized numerically. The flow construction devised for this purpose is applied also to yawed flows. The solutions obtained are found to agree moderately well with the results of numerical calculations from the full equations, but contain a number of anomalous features characteristic of the thin-shock-layer approximation.
