Applied Scientific Research, Section A Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The solution to compressible flow problems under fully assigned boundary conditions is discussed. It is shown that Schwarz's results on minimal surfaces can be immediately applied for two-dimensional flow, and several special cases and examples are given. Extensions of these results provide certain particular types of three-dimensional flow.
