TWO DIMENSIONAL OR AXIALLY SYMMETRIC REAL GAS FLOWS BY THE METHOD OF CHARACTERISTICS, PART II: FLOW FIELDS AROUND BODIES,

Abstract

This document presents a summary of results from a digital computer program for calculating inviscid supersonic flow fields around two-dimensional bodies or axisymmetric bodies at zero angle of attack. This program, based on the method of characteristics, can be used for either perfect or real gas in thermodynamic equilibrium and can calculate flow fields around bodies with flares or concave curvature. Results are presented for both sharp and blunt nosed bodies in perfect and real gas. Whenever possible, they have been compared with experimental data. (Author)
