ARO 404 Computer Assignment Conical Flow: Supersonic Flow Past Unyawed Cone

Now that your computer program is working, we will add some gas dynamics to it and extract some of the flow properties in the conical flow region, between the shock and the cone. We will continue to work with our Case Study:

M1 = 2

! = 1.4
! s = 36!
!! = 0.1!
You already found the values of ! c and M c for this flow from your two plots. Now, continue your work as follows: 1. Use locally planar oblique shock relations to obtain from flow properties at Station 1 (the free stream), flow properties at Station 2 (right behind the shock), as you did in Problem 10.1 of Anderson (2003) in PS4. Do your work in non-dimensional form, either by hand with 4 significant figures or incorporate into your program. Find: M 2 , p2 / p1, !2 / !1, T2 / T1 . 2. Now, recalling that flow from Station 2 to Station c is isentropic, use your previously developed program to compute and plot, on one color graph, local values of these properties as a function of the spherical variable ! , i.e., M , p / p1, ! / !1, T / T1 . Theta will now go from the above ! c to

! s . Add the results in (1) to complete you plot for theta between ! s and ! / 2 , to fully see what
happens to the fluid particle as it encounters the cone. 3. Present your work in a brief report as in ARO 305. Turn in all your work for this assignment (include what you did in the first installment) on Thursday without a folder, just a staple at upper left hand corner. All three plots should be landscape, to be looked at by turning the page CW. Put your program listing at the end in an appendix. Add your hand calculations in another appendix.
