Abstract: In this brief paper, we consider the generalized equation of steady transonic gas flow with the addition of a singular source term. While the addition of a source term often destroys self-similarity of such flows, we demonstrate that a self-similar solution can still exist in the case of a singular source. We first reduce the governing nonlinear partial differential equation into an ordinary differential equation for a class of similarity solutions. Then, we study the existence of solutions for this similarity equation. After that, several explicit solution forms are given. In constructing exact solutions analytically, we demonstrate that dual solution branches may exist for some parameter regimes. For those parameter regimes where exact or analytical solutions are not possible, we obtain numerical solutions. The results demonstrate interesting properties of the solutions which warrant further study.
