Description:
A method for determining shock-wave shapes, stagnation-point location, and flow-field properties for spherically blunt bodies at angle of attack was developed. The method is applicable to perfect gas flows and equilibrium flow of real gases. The results given by the method for shock surface and stagnation-point location are compared with experimental values. Comparison of the shock-layer density and temperature distribution are also made between the results of the method and those of a more exact procedure for a sphere. These comparisons indicate satisfactory agreement.
