Establishment of the Bow-Wave in the Supersonic Flow of Carbon Dioxide Past a Sphere
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
An experimental study of bow-wave trajectories for a sphere in CO2 has been made in a shock tube, using a drum-camera-schlieren technique, for incident shock Mach numbers of 2·4, 2·8 and 4·0. Results show that vibrational relaxation has only a slight effect on the bow-wave formation time but significantly affects the stand-off distance in steady flow.
