By the shock relationships, the wavy characteristics and the forming conditions of a shock wave are analyzed. The wavy characteristics of an Euler system are studied theoretically. The present research focuses on the wavy characteristics of Tollmien-Schlichting (T-S) waves, the excitation conditions of shocklets in compressible boundary layers, and the viscous effect on shock. The possibility of existence of shocklets in the compressible boundary layer and the physical mechanism of formation are theoretically interpreted.
