IHS ESDU Inviscid supersonic flow past cones at zero incidence: (iii) flow deflection in the conical flow field. 70009

ESDU 70009, which is one of a series of four, presents data for the deflection of a streamline in the conical flow field between the shock and the surface of a sharp-nosed right-circular cone at zero incidence in a uniform, inviscid, supersonic airflow. The data are given for upstream Mach numbers increasing from the shock detachment value to a value of 4 for cones with semi-vertex angles of 5, 10, 15, 20, 25, 30, 40 and 50 degrees and were obtained from an exact solution of the conical flow equations.
