Calculation of supersonic flow around v-shaped wings by the fitting method

The problem of flow around a V-shaped wing with supersonic leading edges is solved. The method employed is that of fitting with respect to a space variable in which the system of equations of motion is hyperbolic, using the computing scheme of V. V. Rusanov, A comparison between the results of these calculations and experimental data in relation to the pressure distribution along the wing span reveals excellent agreement, except for a limited region, in which the compression jump incident on the plane of the wing interacts with the boundary layer. A comparison between the results obtained by means of the oblique-jump equations and by numerical calculations indicates that the method in question is reasonably accurate.Translated from Izvestiya Akademu Nauk SSSE, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 3, pp. 180–185, May–June, 1971.The author is grateful to A.
