This paper gives detailed discussions on a problem dealt with briefly by the writer in a recent short note with the same title.
It will be shown with the aid of analysis in the hodograph plane that besides the well-known two shock configurations, two more shock configurations are possible to occur due to an infinite wedge placed in a supersonic uniform flow. These two shocks are both curved waves; one is an attached shock which turns from weak shock at the vertex of the wedge to strong one at infinity as we move out along the shock, while the other is a detached shock which is normal shock at the nose of the body and becomes strong one at infinity.
Numerical calculations are carried out for the case when M1=1.50 and θ0=11°45′ where M1 and θ0 are respectively the Mach number at infinity upstream and the semi-vertical angle of the wedge.
