Abstract
Characteristics of weak shock waves in boundary layer flows in ducts have been analyzed by the control volume method where an appropriate mean flow is assumed over a given cross section of the flows. For given conditions just upstream of a stationary shock wave in a constant-area straight duct, the characteristic properties through the wave can be explicitly calculated by the present analysis. Also, a relation for the propagation of a shock wave against a boundary layer flow and a criterion for the choking of nozzle flow taking account of boundary layers are derived and discussed.
