Abstract

This paper considers the flow at high Mach number behind the curved shock formed when a supersonic stream impinges on an axisymmetrical body with a rounded nose.

The solution is obtained as a double expansion in $\delta = (\gamma -1)|(\gamma +1),$ where γ is the adiabatic index, and M−2; the expansion is developed to within terms of order (δ+M−2)3.

Expressions are obtained for the distance between the body and the shock, the radius of curvature of the shock compared with that of the body, and the pressure distribution on the body.
