Summary A simple closed-form formula for the coefficient of surface pressure, Cp is given in this paper. The formula is based on first and second approximations of the full problem and can be used for the Newtonian flow past two-dimensional thin airfoils at small angles of attack and with attached shock waves. It thus extends Cole's zero order theory to the effects of non-zero (γ – 1) and finite values of Mx where γ is the ratio of the specific heats of the gas and Mx is the free stream Mach number. The analysis presented relies on a previous recent formulation of the hypersonic small disturbance theory which has proved to be more advantageous than the hypersonic small disturbance theory. The results are compared with other approximate methods and the agreement is found to be generally good.

International audience The system FT< of ordering constraints over feature trees has been introduced as an extension of the system FT of equality constraints over feature trees. We investigate the first-order theory of FT< and its fragments in detail, both over finite trees and over possibly infinite trees. We prove that the first-order theory of FT< is undecidable, in contrast to the first-order theory of FT which is well-known to be decidable. We show that the entailment problem of FT< with existential quantification is PSPACE-complete. So far, this problem has been shown decidable, coNP-hard in case of finite trees, PSPACE-hard in case of arbitrary trees, and cubic time when restricted to quantifier-free entailment judgments. To show PSPACE-completeness, we show that the entailment problem of FT< with existential quantification is equivalent to the inclusion problem of non-deterministic finite automata.

The effects of spherical aberration and defocussing on the electron microscope image are much more simply and directly interpreted in the Fourier transform of the image than in the image itself. In terms of a linear or first order theory of image formation, the two dimensional transform of the image intensity is related to the transform of the projected (two dimensional) mass density of the specimen, by the expression:

SummaryThe theory developed in Part I is applied to a number of problems of aeronautical interest, the most important of which is to the setting of “ streamline “ walls about a symmetrical aerofoil placed in the centre of a channel. It is shown how the position of the streamline wall can be deduced from the (experimentally determined) position of a constant pressure wall. This theory is applicable to symmetrical aerofoils of any given shape, and makes allowance for the presence of the aerofoil's wake. To illustrate the theory, and to test it by an extreme example, the flow is calculated about a circular cylinder, with a diameter about half the tunnel height, for both straight and constant pressure walls. The solid blockage is calculated in each case and compared with the standard first order theory. For this extreme example the standard theory fails badly for straight walls, but is reasonably accurate for constant pressure walls.
