IDEAL GAS SPHERICALLY BLUNTED CONE FLOW FIELD SOLUTIONS AT HYPERSONIC CONDITIONS

Abstract

Charts of surface pressures, Mach number, and Reynolds number distributions over spherically blunted cones in an ideal gas (gamma = 1.4) are presented in the ranges M = 8 to 30 and cone half-angles 0 to 20 deg. The pressure data are correlated and compared with a previous empirical correlation of experimental data. The difference in numerical results and empirical correlation of surface pressures is attributed to the viscous-induced pressure increment in the experimental data.
