THE PROBLEM OF SHARP LEADING EDGE IN HYPERSONIC FLOW,

Abstract

In what follows an attempt is made to present the analysis of this problem without the restric tion of wedge-like flow model and at the same time remove certain discrepancies in Oguchi's work. A new transformation is found and a series solution of the resulting equation is evolved. Analytical expressions for the first two terms of this series are obtained. The induced pressures computed on the basis of these two terms is com pared with the experimental results of Nagamatsu, Sheer and Weil. We find that, in the range of validity of our solution, the theoretical predic tion of the induced pressure agrees fairly well within a certain Mach Number range with the experimental data of Nagamatsu, Sheer and Weil.
