Summary

The simplified nonlinear differential equation for transonic flow past a wavy wall is solved by the method of integration in series. The solution has been carried to the point where the question of the existence or nonexistence of a mixed potential flow can be answered by the behavior of a single power series in the transonic similarity parameter. The calculation of the coefficient of this dominant power series has been reduced to a routine computing problem by means of recursion formumlas resulting from the solution of the differential equation and the boundary condition at the surface of the wavy wall.
