Question: A 2 D supersonic airfoil has a flat lower surface aligned with the flow direction and an upper surface described by y = 0 .

A 2D supersonic airfoil has a flat lower surface aligned with the flow direction and an upper surface described by y=0.5x(1-x),0x1. The freestream Mach number is M1=3 and the freestream static pressure is p1=1atm.
(a) Sketch all the wave phenomena on the airfoil.
(b) Find an expression for the distribution of the Prandtl Meyer angle
u(x) along the upper surface.
(c) Calculate the pressure on the following points on the upper surface of the airfoil: leading edge; crest; and trailing edge.
