Supersonic Flow about Right Circular Cones at Zero Yaw in Air at Chemical Equilibrium. Part 1. Correlation of Flow Properties

Abstract

This report (Part I) presents, in the form of correlation plots and formulas, the data tabulated in Part II and III. This data is for the inviscid flow properties of right circular cones at zero yaw in air at chemical equilibrium. The flow properties at the cone surface or just behind the shock may be obtained directly from the correlations of this report. Methods for calculating the properties within the shock layer based on these correlations are indicated. The range for which accurate correlations of all parameters have been found is from the region of ideal gas behavior to free stream Mach numbers approaching infinity and semicone angles up to 40 degrees. Some correlations are valid at least as far as cone angles of 50 degrees, the limit of the data. These results apply only to attached shocks.
