Unsteady supersonic flow around blunt bodies with detached shock wave

The numerical method of calculating the supersonic three-dimensional flow about blunt bodies with detached shock wave presented in 1–3] is applied to the case of unsteady flow. The formulation of the unsteady problem is analogous to that of 4], which assumes smallness of the unsteady disturbances.The paper presents some results of a study of the unsteady flow about blunt bodies over a wide range of variation of the Mach number M=1.50– and dimensionless oscillation frequency l/V=0–1.0. A comparison is made with the results obtained from the Newton theory.
