Abstract

A comparison is made between various methods for the calculation of the pressure distribution on an elliptic cone in supersonic flow. In particular, a criterion first put forward by Van Dyke (1956) is reconsidered. The paper is presented in two parts under separate authorship, taking the form of a discussion of some controversial aspects of this subject.
