| Abstract: | Results are presented of a numerical investigation of the axisymmetric flow around a family of bodies with a pointing angle for which the shock is detached. It is shown that the supersonic part of the stream remains the same for all bodies of the family for a fixed value of M despite the fact that the shaper of the subsonic zone is related quite strongly to the pointing angle  *. The dependence of the shock standoff and its radius of curvature on the spreading line on the body shape is studied. Effects inherent in flows around sharply pointing bodies are discussed. A dimensionless parameter characterizing each body of the family under consideration is introduced and used to establish general flow regularities. Data illustrating the possibility of applying such parametrization are analyzed for a wider class of pointing bodies.Translated from Izvestiya Akademii Nauk SSSR, Mekhanika Zhidkosti i Gaza, No. 4, pp. 111–115, July–August, 1975. |
