SUPERSONIC FLOW PAST A SEMI-INFINTE CONE

J. B. BRODERICK

( Department of Mathematics, The University Manchester )

An approximate analytical solution of the problem of supersonic flow past pointed bodies of revolution was recently given by the author (1). In deriving this solution isentropic, irrotational flow was assumed and no account was taken of the shock-wave. It does not seem possible to extend the solution when the shock-wave is taken into account in general, but for the particular case of axially symmetrical flow past a cone the extension can be made. The purpose of this paper is to show that the extended solution gives the same approximate value for the pressure coefficient as that found in the earlier paper for flow past a cone. We may infer that this result holds for all convex bodies of revolution.
