Abstract:
A solution to the problem of incompressible conical flow past a cone is presented, in which the boundary-layer equations are solved by an implicit finite difference procedure. Comparisons are made with experiments by Rainbird, Crabbe and Jurewicz, and with calculations made by Crabbe who used an approximate method due to Cooke. The present calculations agree reasonably well with experiment and show that the approximate method gives a fair overall picture.
