Abstract: | The interaction between convergent axisymmetric shock waves and sharp and blunt cones has been experimentally investigated in a wind tunnel at M =4.67. During the experiments the effect of the conicity angle of the convergent shock wave, the shape of the model and its position relative to the shock-wave configuration on the structure of the flow and the pressure distribution on the model surface was explored.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 5, pp. 177–182, September–October, 1991.In conclusion, the author wishes to thank Yu. M. Lipnitskii for formulating the problem and E. N. Bogachev for assistance in organizing the research. |
