Abstract

A simple approximate model is set forth for the flow field between the nose of a blunt body of revolution and its detached shock wave. The model tends to explain the poor convergence of Chester's solution, which is based on an improvement of the Newtonian approximation. It suggests a modification of his series for the body shape which appears to improve its convergence considerably.
