Question

K+ and K– constant along the characteristic lines are analogous to the Reimann constants.

(a) True

(b) False

This question was posed to me in an interview for internship.

My enquiry is from Determination of Compatibility Equations topic in section Numerical Techniques for Steady Supersonic Flow of Aerodynamics

Answer 1

Correct option is (a) True

The explanation is: K+ and K– constant along the characteristic lines are analogous to the Reimann constants J+ and J– both of which are obtained by integrating the compatibility equations obtained for the unsteady flows.
