Supersonic Flow Past a Wedge with a Flame at its Apex
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 07 June 2016
Summary
The wholly supersonic flow past a two-dimensional wedge is analysed on the assumption that release of chemical energy into the stream can be accomplished across a thin discontinuous plane flame front attached to the apex. Forces experienced by the wedge are calculated and representative flow patterns exhibited. Some typical interactions between the flame and shocks or centred simple waves are discussed, with emphasis on the use of pressure-flow-deflection diagrams to obtain results.
