Influence of the transverse curvature of the lower surface on the conical supersonic flow field on a delta vehicle

Chapter 8: Numerical Study of Specific Features of Heat Transfer in a Hypersonic Flow Around a Blunted Cone Lying on a Triangular Plate with Blunted Edges

“…The flow around an extremely important element of such a configuration (i.e., a blunted delta wing or a flat plate with sharp edges) has been intensely studied for the last several decades, both by experimental methods and numerically. Numerous regimes of the flow around pointed configurations, which depend on the geometric parameters of wings and on the governing gas-dynamic parameters of the flow [3][4][5], have been considered.…”
