Abstract
The steady two-dimensional source-type flow of a viscous heat-conducting perfect gas is investigated. The solutions of physical significance all contain shocks, and bounds are given for the shock-thickness in terms of the shock-strength and the Reynolds number of the flow. It is found that the entropy rises to a maximum within the shock, and this maximum does not disappear even when the viscosity tends to zero.Keywords
