Title: Three-Dimensional Inviscid Flow About Supersonic Blunt Cones at Angle of Attack - I: Numerical Technique for the Three-Dimensional Blunt-Body Problem

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/1067343· OSTI ID:1067343

The three-dimensional flow field around blunted bodies traveling at supersonic speed is computed using a time-dependent technique. The problem is mathematically well posed, the technique is stable and its accuracy increases with the fineness of the mesh. Values at points within the shock layer are computed by a method closely related to the Lax-Wendroff technique. Values at shock points and body points are computed by a four-dimensional method of characteristics.
