Summary

In the usual form of thin-shock-layer theory it is assumed that the flow about a lifting body can be expanded in terms of the inverse density ratio across a basic oblique shock wave lying in the plane of the leading edges of the body. In this paper it is shown that more accurate results can be obtained by moving the basic shock closer to the calculated shock wave below the body. The results obtained show why the original form of thin-shock-layer theory often gave good agreement with experiment in conditions which appeared to be outside the range of validity of the theory.
