Abstract: We formulated a problem on hypersonic limit of two-dimensional steady non-isentropic compressible Euler flows passing a straight wedge. It turns out that Mach number of the upcoming uniform supersonic flow increases to infinite may be taken as the adiabatic exponent gamma of the polytropic gas decreases to 1. We proposed a form of the Euler equations which is valid if the unknowns are measures and constructed a measure solution contains Dirac measures supported on the surface of the wedge. It is proved that as gammao1, the sequence of solutions of the compressible Euler equations that containing a shock ahead of the wedge converge vaguely as measures to the measure solution we constructed. This justified the Newton theory of hypersonic flow passing obstacles in the case of two-dimensional straight wedges. The result also demonstrates the necessity of considering general measure solutions in the studies of boundary-value problems of systems of hyperbolic conservation laws.
