Abstract
Large numbers of publications exist, both in the open literature and within companies, presenting fundamental compressible flow data important to the engineer. The data are presented in a variety of both graphical and tabulated forms. In the authors’ experience, each style of presentation has, in general, limitations in terms either of the wide increments of Mach Number, or of the small size of graphical presentation. These make interpolation less accurate than is generally desirable. Furthermore in many cases, especially in the open literature, the data are restricted to one value of specific heat ratio, and apply to air only.
