The strength of the shock wave in the vicinity of a gun is predicted. The energy release is considered to be a function of time. As the shock wave reaches the point of analysis the energy is still being released. It is found that the energy release by the after-flashing will not significantly alter the shock strength but will affect the flow behind the shock wave. The pressure behind the shock wave will decrease slower if the energy is released continuously. The strength of the shock wave in general decreases with increase of the length of tube and is proportional to the total energy released.

"The following monograph is intended to survey they application of the theory of perfect fluid flow to the prediction of the aerodynamic forces that act on thin wings and slender bodies as a result of small, unsteady motions with respect to an equilibrium configuration of uniform, supersonic flight. In addition, certain aspects of the corresponding subsonic problem are taken up (in Chapters 1 and 2) insofar as they afford informative comparisons with their supersonic counterparts."--Preface.
