A METHOD OF DETERMINING FLOW FIELDS OF BLUNTNOSED SLENDER BODIES AT ARBITRARY ANGLS OF YAW,

Abstract

Blunted slender bodies at angles of yaw are studied using the similarity solution, i.e., blast wave theory, with modifications to predict experimental data to a high degree of accuracy. The yawed body is examined and the shock surface located on a hemisphere-cylinder combination. Further methods are proposed fr evaluation of prolated spheroid-cylinder and blunted cone configurations. (Author)
