Title: Calculation of the supersonic flow around conical bodies
Abstract: A finite-difference scheme [1, 2], proposed previously for calculating spatial supersonic flows, which is written in spherical coordinates, is applied to the calculation of the supersonic flow around various conical bodies: circular, elliptic and almost pyramidal cones, triangular and V-shaped wings and combinations of a triangular wing and a circular cone. The solutions describing the corresponding conical flows are developed in the build-up process along the radial coordinate. The difference scheme used is direct, which enables us to perform the calculation without the isolation of internal shock waves, which are generated, for example, by the leeward (shady) side of the cones at fairly large angles of attack. At the same time the calculation of a leading shock wave, the isolation of which is advisable, does not require the inclusion in the computer program of any supplementary algorithm, since allowing for shock waves (rather, the interaction of two uniform supersonic flows) constitutes one of the elements of the difference scheme mentioned.
