Solutions are provided for both single and double sonic shocks. Sample calculations are presented that include sonic shocks embedded in smooth inviscid flows.application/pdfen-USIn CopyrightArticle - Refereedhttp://scitation.aip.org/content/aip/journal/pof1/30/2/10.1063/1.866388https://doi.org/10.1063/1.866388
