Synopsis

Understand how boundary value problems for mixed elliptic-hyperbolic equations are made well posed

This book explores the Tricomi equation and its use in transonic gas dynamics. It explains how complex characteristics and analytic extensions can reformulate difficult flow problems into tractable boundary value problems. The author develops explicit representations, Green’s functions, and reflection principles that help ensure unique, stable solutions.

Readers will see how to frame boundary conditions on curved domains, work with transformed coordinates, and apply analytic techniques to obtain solutions that are real and well defined. The text connects theory to the practical problem of calculating smooth transonic flows around airfoils, highlighting both the mathematics and its physical motivation.

  • Derivation and interpretation of the Tricomi equation in the transonic context
  • Construction of boundary value problems with mixed elliptic-hyperbolic type
  • Use of complex characteristics, analytic continuation, and Green’s functions
  • Explicit solution representations and reflection laws for domain boundaries

Ideal for readers of advanced applied mathematics and fluid dynamics who want a rigorous, applicable treatment of well-posed boundary value problems.
