Summary A flat plate moving at a high Mach number and zero angle of attack is stepwise accelerated in the direction of its initial motion by a small amount. The time history of the associated flow, till the final steady state is reached, is analysed and the unsteady flow solutions determining the temporal variations in the boundary layer induced weakinteraction pressure and shear stress are numerically obtained for an insulated surface. In the analysis, the fluid is assumed to be a perfect gas. The obtained results are for a free stream Mach numberM ∞ of 10 and a given plate lengthL * with various values of impulsive velocity increments. It is also found that by suitable formulation of the variables and in particular by avoiding the variable of the typet * u ∞ */x *, the discontinuity quoted by Stewartson and others is avoided.
