Abstract

Hypersonic flow past axisymmetric power-law bodies $(y \propto x^m; m = 0, { \frac {1}{10}},{ \frac {1}{4}},{ \frac {1}{3}},{ \frac {1}{2}},{ \frac {3}{4}}\; and \; 1)$ has been studied experimentally and a detailed analysis of the dependence of shock-wave shape on body shape made.

Results indicate a continuous relationship between the exponent of the shock-wave shape and that of body shape over the range considered.
