Description:
Numerical solutions for the flow field about cones with nose angles of up to 30° at angles of attack up to 50° for a range of Reynolds numbers and wall temperature ratios are presented. The solutions obtained permit interaction between the inviscid region and the boundary layer on the body through the displacement-thickness effect. The solutions are valid throughout the flow field except in the region adjacent to the leeward line of symmetry. Comparisons are made with experimental results and other numerical solutions. Detailed flow structure and the variation of surface conditions with cone angle, incidence, Reynolds number and wall temperature are indicated. The numerical methods used for the inviscid flow equations are Telenin's method and the method of characteristics, while a modified form of the method of integral relations is applied to the boundary-layer equations. © 1976, Cambridge University Press.
