Tables of Supersonic Flows About Cone Cylinders. Part 1. Surface Data
Abstract
A family of inviscid steady axisymmetric supersonic flows about some cylinders has been calculated by the method of characteristics on the ENIAC. The cones have semi-vertex angles of the form 5k deg (1 < or = k < or = 10), while the Mach numbers contained in the set 1.3, 1.5, 1.7, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, are such that the shock wave is attached to and conical near the vertex. Pressure, density, temperature, and local Mach number distributions on the cylinder have been tabulated, and the pressure data have also been presented graphically. The ENIAC results have been compared with computations from other sources and with experimental data.
