Summary

Small, steady perturbations of general two-dimensional steady, shock-free, supersonic flows are studied and the perturbation fields of symmetrical nozzle flows are described in detail. The relation between errors in the shape of the supersonic part of the nozzle liners and the deviations from uniformity of the flow in the test section is given to an approximation sufficient for the treatment of a number of problems arising from experiment and in the design of nozzles.
