Comparison of oblique shock wave angle in analytical and numerical solution

Abstract

The drag of the subsonic aircraft is largely formed by the skin friction drag and lift-induced drag. At transonic flight occurs shock wave. Determination of shock wave angle is important part of design of every aircraft, which working in supersonic airflow regimes. Formation of shock waves cause formation the wave drag. The wave drag could account about 35% from total drag of aircraft. Shock wave angle is directly linked with the intensity of itself. This work compares shock wave angle calculations using analytical and numerical solving methods.
