22、ann (ref. 1) introduced the concept of a general conical flow field as one in which the fluid properties are constant along any ray emanating from a common point in the flow. Solutions for such self-similar conical flows are of great importance to the aerodynamicist since (1) significant regions of

Although the self -similari

Hence until the last decade, most conical solutions have been obtained only for the simplest cases or after linearization or other approximations to the equa- tions. However, recent advances in speed and storage of digital computers have spurred the dev
26、elopment of numerical solutions of the full nonlinear equations, to the point where solutions to very general conical flow problems can be obtained in a few minutes. A particularly efficient numerical technique for solving conical flow problems has been reported in references 2 to 4. The method is s
27、emidiscrete, wherein one independent variable is discretized while the other remains as a continuous variable. This method is referred to as the method of lines, to distinguish it from grid or network computations where all independent variables are discretized. The method of lines is “direct“ in th
28、e sense that the body shape is given and is one of the bounding coordinate surfaces; yet, the shock wave is another bounding coordinate surface, and the governing differential equations are solved by integrating inward from the shock. Thus, in that respect, the method is like the inverse methods. Th
29、e technique employed for solving this free boundary problem has three distinguishing features: (1) the coordinate transformation which maps the region between the shock and body onto a rectangle, (2) the solution of the equations by the semidiscrete method of lines, and (3) an iteration procedure fo

None of these features are new; yet when combined, they prove to be an efficient means of solving free boundary problems such as the supersonic blunt-body problem or conical flows. The basic idea of the method of lines is to discretize all but one of the indepen

Initial values for the system of equations are estimated, or otherwise specified, and the system of equations is integrated numer- ically. An i
32、terative process is utilized to satisfy the boundary conditions; thus, the initial values are subsequently altered and the equations are again integrated. The SUCCCSS of the method of lines as a computational tool hinges upon (1) formulation of the problem in a form which requires relatively few lin

The first requirement is largely met through the choice of the coordinate system and the secon

The computational time and the utility of the method depend to a large part on the itera- tive process. The present paper expands upon the material in reference 4; further details and refinement

Nonlinear Conical Methods The earliest treatment of nonaxisymmetric conical flow was given by Stone (ref. 5) together with the numerical computations carried out under the direction of Kopal (ref. 6), where the flow about circular cones at small incidence was con

The many analyt- ical papers published since (ref
41、s. 9 to 11 and many other papers referenced in these works) have been concerned largely with the construction of solutions to conical flows by means of matched asymptotic expansions. These papers have concentrated primarily on the theoretical development; consequently, there has been relatively litt

However, to achieve a satisfactory solution in many problems where a fine mesh is needed, these methods require a large amount of computer storage and time. The conical me

In fact, many of the conical methods are similar to methods used for solving the blunt-body problem. The methods of references 12 to 20 are examples

References 12, 13, and 14 considered circular cones at angle of attack, refer- ences 15 and 16 included cones of elliptic cross section, and reference 17 presents cal- culations for the compression side of conical delta wings with the shock wave attached not only a

More recently, a three- dimensional characteristic method has been developed to compute the flow about some delta-wing configurations, also with an attached leading-edge shock (ref. 18). ences 19 and 20, a method is presented which is essentially a distance-asymptotic method, and whic
