Résumé

For the two-dimensional Lin–Reissner–Tsien equation, which describes nonstationary gas flows, we construct new classes of solutions with functional arbitrariness in the form of series in powers of specially chosen functions. Coefficients of such series are found successively as solutions of linear ordinary differential equations or as solutions of linear partial differential equations. The use of special series whose coefficients are determined by linear partial differential equations allowed us to satisfy two given additional boundary conditions exactly. For one class of flows, these coefficients were found in an explicit form from linear equations of the hyperbolic type; for another one, they were found from linear equations of the parabolic type. This circumstance was used to prove the convergence of such series and to study the asymptotics of the solutions constructed. We present results of numerical calculations on nonstationary transonic flow around a wedge.
