Abstract: | The validity of the well-known law of hypersonic similitude [1, 2] for a combination of a circular cone and a delta-shaped wing has hitherto been verified only for the integral characteristics [3]. The law is verified in this paper for both the integral and local parameters of the flow. The posed problem has been solved numerically using the stationary analog of Godunov's method [4]. The shock waves and characteristic surfaces bounding the region of the properly conical flow were separated. As in the paper of Ivanov and Kraiko [5], the required distributions of the parameters were found by stabilization with respect to the coordinate.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 2, pp. 188–190, March–April, 1984.I thank A.
