Abstract

We proposed rigorous definitions of Radon measure solutions for boundary value problems of steady compressible Euler equations which model hypersonic-limit inviscid flows passing two-dimensional ramps, and their interactions with still gas and pressureless jets. We proved the Newton–Busemann pressure law of drags on a body in hypersonic flow, and constructed various physically interesting measure solutions with density containing Dirac measures supported on curves, also exhibited examples of blow up of certain measure solutions. This established a mathematical foundation for applications in engineering and further studies of measure solutions of compressible Euler equations.
