The Numerical Computations of Supersonic Flow Past Blunt Bodies.
Abstract
Methods for computing numerically the flow past blunted bodies travelling at supersonic speed are developed, using finite difference schemes. The algorithms were constracted to deal witn 2-D axisymmetric and 3-D configuration. Various configurations were investigated and the flow field around them computed. Comparison with available semi-empirical results for blunted cones at Mach number 3 shows good agreement. The 3-D algorithm was applied to an axisymmetric configuration and the results thus obtained show good agreement with the axisymmetric calculation. All the calculations are for the inviscid gas-dynamic case. (Author)
