Abstract: In this paper, we focus on the two-dimensional subsonic flow problem for polytropic gases around an infinite long ramp, which is motivated by a description in Section 111 of Courant-Friedrichs’ book Supersonic flow and shock waves. The flow is assumed to be steady, isentropic and irrotational; namely, the movement of the flow is described by a second-order steady potential equation. By the complex methods together with some properties on quasi-conformal mappings, we show that a nontrivial subsonic flow around the infinite long ramp does not exist if the flow is uniformly subsonic.
