Consider the following statements about shock-expansion theory:

1. It handles compression turns with oblique shock relations.

2. It handles expansion turns with the Prandtl-Meyer function.

3. It accounts for the boundary layer on the section.

Which of the statements given above is or are correct?

  • A.1 and 3 only
  • B.2 and 3 only
  • C.1, 2 and 3
  • D.1 and 2 only

Answer: D

The first two describe exactly what the method does. The third is false: the theory is purely inviscid, so it gives pressure drag and lift but says nothing about skin friction or about shock-induced separation, both of which need a boundary-layer calculation alongside it.
