Unsteady flows bounded by shock waves and equivalent steady hypersonic flows over slender bodies are considered, and the form of the shock shape and of the volumetric sources for self-similar motion are noted. For unsteady flows, it is found that the shock shape mu t have the form R sub O=ct to the m power (where R sub O = shock ordinate, t = time) and that the mass, momentum, and energ sources must be expressible in the fom of a funtion of r/R sub O times t to the -1 power, t to the m-2 power, and t to the 2m-3 power, respectively (where r is the lateral ordinate). If the sources introduce only sll perturbations in an otherwise self-similar flow, solutions can be obtained for sources expressible as a function of r/R sub O times t to arbitrary constant exponents. Thus, the small perturbation case is less restrictive with regard to the functional form of the sources. For equivalent steady hypersonic flows, the streamwise distance, x, replaces t in the above expressions. Numerical perturbation solutions are obtained for the effect of a uniform transverse magnetic field on piston-driven flows and blast waves. The firstorder effect of body-thickness raio on the hypersonic flow (in the limit of infinite Mach number) over slender power law bodies is aso reated. (Author).
