Solve for \(u(\theta ,v)\) \[ u_{\theta \theta }+\frac {v^2}{1-\frac {v^2}{c^2}} u_{vv} + v u_v=0 \] Here \(c\) is the speed of sound.

Mathematica

ClearAll["Global`*"]; 
pde =  D[u[theta, v], {theta, 2}] + v^2/(1-v^2/c^2)* D[u[theta,v],{v,2}]+v*D[u[theta,v],v]==0; 
sol =  AbsoluteTiming[TimeConstrained[DSolve[pde, u[theta, v], {theta, v}, Assumptions->c>0], 60*10]];
