Description:
A survey was made of the parameters affecting the development of the leeward symmetric separated flow over slender delta wings immersed in a supersonic stream. The parameters included Mach number, Reynolds number, angle of attack, leading-edge sweep angle, and body cross-sectional shape, such that subsonic and supersonic leading-edge flows are encountered. It was seen that the boundaries between the various flow regimes existing about the leeward surface may conveniently be represented on a diagram with the components of angle of attack and Mach number normal to the leading edge as governing parameters.
