The Prandtl–Glauert transformation is a mathematical technique which allows solving certain compressible flow problems by incompressible-flow calculation methods. It also allows applying incompressible-flow data to compressible-flow cases. == Mathematical formulation == Inviscid compressible flow over slender bodies is governed by linearized compressible small-disturbance potential equation:〔Kuethe, A.M. and Chow, C.Y., Foundations of Aerodynamics, Wiley, 1976〕 together with the small-disturbance flow-tangency boundary condition. is the freestream Mach number, and are the surface-normal vector components. The unknown variable is the perturbation potential , and the total velocity is given by its gradient plus the freestream velocity which is assumed here to be along . The above formulation is valid only if the small-disturbance approximation applies ,〔Shapiro, A.H., Compressible Fluid Flow I, Wiley, 1953〕 and in addition that there is no transonic flow, approximately stated by the requirement that the local Mach number not exceed unity. The Prandtl-Glauert (PG) transformation uses the Prandtl-Glauert Factor . It consists of scaling down all y and z dimensions and angle of attack by the factor of , and the potential by . The small-disturbance potential equation then transforms to the Laplace equation, and the flow-tangency boundary condition retains the same form. This is the incompressible potential-flow problem about the transformed geometry with surface normal vector components or its gradient components which is known as Göthert's Rule 〔Göthert, B.H.
