Abstract

The Lin-Reissner-Tsien equation describes unsteady transonic flows under the transonic approximation. In the present paper, the equation is reduced to an ordinary differential equation via a similarity transformation. The resulting equation is then solved analytically and even exactly in some cases. Numerical simulations are provided for the cases in which there is no exact solution. Travelling wave solutions are also obtained.
