THE VORTICAL LAYER ON AN INCLINED CONE,
Abstract
The problem of flow over a circular cone inclined slightly to a uniform stream is solved using the technique of matched asymptotic expansions. The outer expansion is equivalent to Stone's solution of the problem. The inner expansion, valid in a thin layer near the body, represents Ferr's vortical layer. The solution to first order in angle of attack so obtained is uniformly valid everywhere in the flow field. In the second-order expansion an additional non-uniformity appears near the leeward ray. This defect is removed by inspection. Formulas are given that may be used to render Kopal's numerical result uniformly valid to second order in angle of attack. (Author)
