Hypersonic flow past conical bodies

Abstract

In [1, 2] Gonor considered the problem of imperfect inviscid gas flow about conical bodies at high supersonic speeds. The method of expansion in terms of a small parameter was used to obtain the solution. The small parameter used was the ratio of the densities in the free stream and behind the shock wave. However, this solution does not enable one to determine the velocity field in the vicinity of the cone surface.
