Abstract
SummaryThe supersonic flow past an elliptic cone of small eccentricity is treated as a pertubation of the axially-symmetric conical flow. The perturbation is singular; a uniformly valid solution is constructed by formulating the problem in sphero-conal coordinates (in which the cone surface is always a level surface of one of the coordinates) and by using the method of matched asymptotic expansions. This formulation enables first-order results to be obtained economically. In a numerical example for the flow past a cone of quite large eccentricity at incidence, it is shown that the present first-order solution (of three terms) agrees as well with experiment as a ten-term approximation obtained by Martellucci using the method of linearised characteristics.
