The simplified nonlinear differential equation for transonic flow past a wavy wall is solved by the method of integration in series. The solution has been carried to the point where the question of the existence or nonexistence of a mixed potential flow can be answered by the behavior of a single power series in the transonic similarity parameter. The calculation of the coefficient of this dominant power series has been reduced to a routine computing problem by means of recursion formumlas resulting from the solution of the differential equation and the boundary condition at the surface of the wavy wall.

The simplified nonlinear differential equation for transonic flow past a wavy wall is solved by the method of integration in series. A general procedure for the solution of the resulting recurrence formulas is shown and illustrated by a number of examples. A numerical test of convergence is applied to a key power series in k, the transonic similartiy parameter, and leads to the conclusion that smooth symmetrical potential flow past the wavy wall is no longer possible when the critical value of the stream Mach number is exceeded.
