Abstract
The investigation of high velocity air flow in a radial,
parallel-walled passage was conducted to determine; first, whether
or not a diverging physical boundary is necessary to produce superacoustic
acceleration, and second, if supersonic velocities can be
attained what type of discontinuity, if any, occurs. A limit of the investigation was the amount of air available*
Available air dictated such small flow areas that boundary layer
conditions materially affected net flow area. Therefore, all conclusions
of this investigation apply to air flow in a parallel-
walled, radial passage with very small flow area such that flow
dimensions are the same order of magnitude as boundary layer thickness.
