Abstract
We discuss the validity of similarity and scaling laws for transonic f low and compressible boundary layers when dense gas effects are import ant. The physical mechanisms for the failure of each class of scaling law are delineated. In the case of transonic flow, a new similitude ba sed on a modified small disturbance equation is presented.
