Hypersonic Flow Past a Slender Elliptic Cone.
Abstract
An approximate analytical solution is obtained for hypersonic flow past a slender elliptic cone at small angle of attack. The analysis is based on perturbations of hypersonic flow past a circular cone aligned with the free stream, the perturbations stemming from the linear combination of small angle of attack and small cross-section eccentricity. By means of previously obtained hypersonic approximations for the basic-cone problem, closed-form approximate solutions for the perturbation equations are obtained within the framework of hypersonic small disturbance theory. Results for the shock shape, shock-layer structure, and surface conditions are presented, together with comparisons with experimental data. (Author)
