In this book, the authors study the classical problem of a steady-state supersonic flow of an inviscid non-heat-conductive gas around an infinite plane wedge. As is known, if the vertex angle is sufficiently small, then from the theoretical point of view, the problem has two discontinuous solutions, one of which is associated with a strong shock wave (the gas velocity behind the shock wave is less than the sound speed) and the second one corresponds to the weak shock wave (the gas velocity behind the shock wave is, in general, larger than the sound speed). Justification of the Courant-Friedrichs conjecture at the linear level is discussed. The authors hope that this book will be useful for specialists in gas dynamics and in applied mathematics as well.
